What the model has
- Advanced thinking (DeepSeek style) — the model reasons before it answers. Its thinking comes from two sources:
- Supervised reasoning training: 93.6% of its reasoning-focused training examples (103/110) carry a full reasoning chain as part of the target.
- Reasoning-effort control: a chat template ported from deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731, with three effort levels —
low (default), xhigh, and max ("Beyond maximum — exhaustive, relentless... do not stop reasoning until you have independently verified the solution from multiple angles").
- Procedural 3D generation — explicit blockout gating before high-poly, conditional lightmap workflows, combinatorial validation, non-destructive pipelines.
- Hard-surface shape language — stance/relational design, primary volume architecture, motif propagation, panel breakup.
- Multi-skill asset workflows — Blender modifier-driven gear recipes, tooth profile generation, PBR game-prep, layered lighting legibility.
- safetensors, bfloat16 (26 shards, ~67 GB)
- Base dtype:
bf16; Mamba SSM tensors in f32
- Includes the full model (no MTP layers stripped at this level)
Improvements over the base model
Table with columns: Capability, Improvement| Capability | Improvement |
|---|
| Procedural generation | blockout_gate: PARTIAL → PASS; conditional_lightmap: FAIL → PASS |
| Replay safety | base competence suite 6/6 intact (no regressions) |
| Shape / hard-surface | no catastrophic flips across held-out objects |
| Blender gear recipe | modifier_workflow, tooth_profile_generation, game_prep_uv_pbr, non_destructive_order |
| Lighting | layered lighting legibility (bounce and ambient) |
Usage
Standard transformers / vLLM / SGLang loading:
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("quimmedes/Deepwen-3.6-bf16", torch_dtype="bfloat16")
tok = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("quimmedes/Deepwen-3.6-bf16")
To enable advanced thinking at maximum effort:
{
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "..."}],
"chat_template_kwargs": {"reasoning_effort": "max"}
}
Quantized versions
GGUF quantizations with MoQ (mixed) tensor types are published in:
quimmedes/Deepwen-3.6 — levels Q2.5 (IQ2_XXS), Q3, Q4.5, Q5, Q6, Q8, all without MTP (733 tensors), plus vision mmproj (BF16/F16).
