Instructions to use spade-rl/SPADE-Qwen3-8B-Games with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use spade-rl/SPADE-Qwen3-8B-Games with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="spade-rl/SPADE-Qwen3-8B-Games")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("spade-rl/SPADE-Qwen3-8B-Games")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("spade-rl/SPADE-Qwen3-8B-Games", device_map="auto")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

SPADE-Qwen3-8B-Games

SPADE checkpoint for the games setting, trained from Qwen/Qwen3-8B.

SPADE trains a single model in two roles: as a proposer that writes executable environments, and as an actor that plays them. The proposer is rewarded for producing environments at the frontier of what the actor can currently solve, so the curriculum keeps pace with the policy instead of being fixed in advance.


Base model	`Qwen/Qwen3-8B`
Setting	`games`
Released checkpoint	`iter399`
Grounding corpus	`spare-rl/spade-grounding-corpus-games-15k`

Environments. Environments generated online by the model itself, grounded on the 15k games corpus.

Checkpoint selection. Final checkpoint of the run (no offline eval sweep was run for this arm).

Usage

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_id = "spare-rl/SPADE-Qwen3-8B-Games"
tok = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id, device_map="auto")
