Evaluation
The released Q5_K_M artifact was evaluated in direct mode on the full HumanEval and MBPP suites with llama.cpp b10007, one answer per task, temperature 0.6, top-p 0.95, top-k 20, and seed 42.

Quickstart
Use a recent Transformers release compatible with Qwen3.5. Load the repository with trust_remote_code=False, preserve the supplied processor/tokenizer files, and enable thinking through the supplied chat template where supported. Validate generated code before execution.
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForImageTextToText
model_id = "Nimbus-Labs/Nimbus-4B"
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForImageTextToText.from_pretrained(model_id, torch_dtype="auto", device_map="auto")

release-manifest.json
Nimbus prominently credits Qwen3.5 as the foundation for this model family. Nimbus-9B-v2.1 additionally credits DeepReinforce's Ornith-1.0-9B as its immediate upstream.
Intended use
Local coding assistance, code explanation, debugging, test generation, and bounded tool-aware workflows. Host applications must enforce permissions, sandboxing, timeouts, and verification.
Limitations
The model can produce incorrect, insecure, incomplete, or non-compiling code. Benchmark performance does not guarantee project-level correctness. GGUF artifacts are text-only even though this Transformers checkpoint includes multimodal components.
Licenses and notices
See LICENSES.md, THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md, and the bundled Apache-2.0 text. The model is a derivative distribution; Nimbus attribution does not replace upstream attribution.
