HERO-9B is post-trained from Qwen3.5-9B using HERO (HiErarchical ReinfOrcement learning) to improve token efficiency while prioritizing task resolution.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Base model | Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B |
| Parameters | 9B (dense) |
| Architecture and tokenizer | Inherited from Qwen3.5-9B |
| Training | HERO on 640 multilingual SWE tasks from SWE-Gym, Multi-SWE-bench, and SWE-rebench |
| Intended use | Repository-level coding agents |
| Format | Hugging Face weights and tokenizer |
HERO combines capability-based efficiency gating, resolution-first clipping, and efficiency credit at trajectory and turn levels. Qwen3.5 is the backbone; this release contains the HERO post-trained weights.
Follow the preparation guide in the HERO code repository. From that repository's root,
