Out-of-domain token efficiency

Claw-Eval thinking tokens are per-task (agentic; not a single-turn trace).

Settings

Models: base Qwen/Qwen3.6-27B vs bottlecapai/ThinkingCap-Qwen3.6-27B (shown as Ours in the table).
Seeds: 5 per condition; thinking on; cells are mean ± 95% CI across seeds.
Decoding: thinking on; sampling temperature=1.0, top_p=0.95, top_k=20, min_p=0.0 (bottlecapai/ThinkingCap-Qwen3.6-27B uses the base's sampling).
Max generation tokens: 100,000 for the general suite (gpqa_diamond, mmlu_pro, longbench_v2, realworldqa) and AA-LCR; 250,000 for HMMT (Nov 2025); 32,768 for supergpqa and livecodebench; 16,384 for ceval and mmlu_redux; 15,000 for llm-system-prompts-benchmark; 49,152 for Claw-Eval.
Metrics — the columns mirror the table:
- Accuracy (Base / Ours) — fraction correct (exact/regex match; soft compliance for llm-system-prompts-benchmark; judge task-score for Claw-Eval; judge CORRECT/INCORRECT for AA-LCR).
- Thinking tokens (Base / Ours) — mean length of the single-turn <think> trace (think-per-task for Claw-Eval).
- Reduction — the average per-question thinking-token saving: base and Ours are paired on the same question (each side seed-averaged), each question's (base − cap)/base is taken, then averaged over shared questions (a larger ↓ = a bigger saving).
- Macro average (bottom row) — equal-weight mean across benchmarks.
We separately track two trace-quality failure modes, reported only in aggregate: looping — the model gets stuck repeating the same reasoning chain (sometimes a single sentence), never finishing its thinking; detected from the fraction of repetitive n-grams — and truncation — the <think> trace never closes because the model hits the generation-token cap while still reasoning, so no answer is produced. Across all out-of-domain responses, truncation drops from 2.9% to 0.4% while looping stays negligible (~0.2%).

In-domain evals

Holdout test splits of datasets whose train splits are part of the finetuning mix — quality retention on in-distribution tasks (in contrast to the out-of-domain benchmarks above).

Settings

Seeds: 5 per condition; thinking on; cells are mean ± 95% CI across seeds.
Decoding: sampling temperature=1.0, top_p=0.95, top_k=20, min_p=0.0 (bottlecapai/ThinkingCap-Qwen3.6-27B uses the base's sampling).
Max generation tokens: 15,000 for GSM8K; 8,192 for the MCQ sets.
Data: GSM8K is the full 1,319-row test split; the MCQ sets are capped at 1,000 rows (OpenBookQA = 500 and QASC = 926 are smaller, so full).
Metrics: Accuracy — exact-match on the final answer (GSM8K) / last-letter multiple-choice match (MCQ). Thinking tokens, Reduction and Macro average are as defined for the token-efficiency table above, as are the looping and truncation failure modes: across all in-domain responses, truncation drops from 1.6% to 0.03% while looping is negligible for both (≤0.01%).

Guardrails preservation

Brevity finetuning leaves safety behaviour intact: on both safety sets bottlecapai/ThinkingCap-Qwen3.6-27B refuses harmful/jailbreak prompts at the base model's rate (statistically indistinguishable) while still spending fewer thinking tokens.

Settings

Seeds: 5 per condition; thinking on; cells are mean ± 95% CI across seeds.
Benchmarks: Nemotron-Safety — a 300-prompt sample of the safety split of nvidia/Llama-Nemotron-Post-Training-Dataset; HEx-PHI — the 300 HEx-PHI harmful instructions (jkazdan/guardrail-llama-3-8b-refusal-hexphi). Both are safety-relevant / jailbreak prompts.

Both datasets only contain a train subset and given their near-perfect scores, it is hard to rule out possible contimination in Qwen's original training data. These results are intended purely as a demonstration of preserved guardrail capabilities, and are in line with our internal usage testing.
Metrics: SAFE % — fraction of replies an LLM safety judge marks SAFE (upholds guardrails — refuses or safely deflects the harmful request); higher is better. Thinking tokens and Reduction are as defined for the token-efficiency table above.

Usage

HuggingFace Transformers

python
from transformers import AutoModelForImageTextToText, AutoProcessor
model = AutoModelForImageTextToText.from_pretrained("bottlecapai/ThinkingCap-Qwen3.6-27B", dtype="bfloat16")
proc = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("bottlecapai/ThinkingCap-Qwen3.6-27B")

FP8 (vLLM / SGLang)

An official FP8 quantization for GPU serving lives in the sibling repo bottlecapai/ThinkingCap-Qwen3.6-27B-FP8 — half the memory of bf16 at near-lossless quality, in the compressed-tensors format vLLM/SGLang load natively, with the MTP (multi-token-prediction) speculative-decoding head kept in bf16.

bash
vllm serve bottlecapai/ThinkingCap-Qwen3.6-27B-FP8

GGUF (llama.cpp)

Quantized GGUF builds of this model live in the sibling repo bottlecapai/ThinkingCap-Qwen3.6-27B-GGUF, for local inference with llama.cpp and compatible runtimes (Ollama, LM Studio, …).

Quantization stores the weights at reduced precision — e.g. ~4.7 bits per weight for Q4_K_M instead of 16-bit bf16 — cutting download size and memory severalfold at a small quality cost. Q4_K_M is the recommended size/quality balance, Q8_0 is near-lossless.

bash
llama-cli -hf bottlecapai/ThinkingCap-Qwen3.6-27B-GGUF:Q4_K_M -p "Hi"
