Darwin-27B-Opus

Quality: original (bfloat16)

Darwin-27B-Opus is a 27-billion-parameter language model produced entirely through evolutionary crossbreeding of pretrained models, requiring zero additional training, zero data, and a single GPU. On the GPQA Diamond benchmark — a graduate-level scientific reasoning evaluation comprising 198 expert-crafted questions in physics, chemistry, and biology — Darwin-27B-Opus achieves 86.9%, surpassing its progenitor Qwen3.5-27B (85.5%) by +1.4 percentage points and securing 5th place on the HuggingFace GPQA leaderboard.

Parent Models

Role Model Contribution
Father (Structure) Qwen/Qwen3.5-27B Foundation architecture, native reasoning, 201-language support
Mother (Knowledge) Jackrong/Qwen3.5-27B-Claude-4.6-Opus-Reasoning-Distilled Claude 4.6 Opus structured reasoning patterns via SFT distillation

Both parents share identical architecture: hidden_size=4096, intermediate_size=17408, 64 layers — ensuring 100% structural compatibility for FFN crossbreeding.
