## 🔥 News

- **2026-08-28**: 🔥 The ExoMind preprint is now available on
  [Preprints.org](https://doi.org/10.20944/preprints202608.2038.v1).
- **2026.8.25**: 🔥 We have released a series of official GGUF variants for
  ExoMind and ExoMind-9B. Please refer to the [ExoMind collection](https://huggingface.co/collections/AI4SGI/exomind-6a8d093b41eedd517bbc0945). We
  also thank [mradermacher](https://huggingface.co/mradermacher) for providing
  additional GGUF quantizations, including both static and importance-matrix
  variants: [ExoMind-i1-GGUF](https://huggingface.co/mradermacher/ExoMind-i1-GGUF),
  [ExoMind-GGUF](https://huggingface.co/mradermacher/ExoMind-GGUF),
  [ExoMind-9B-i1-GGUF](https://huggingface.co/mradermacher/ExoMind-9B-i1-GGUF),
  and [ExoMind-9B-GGUF](https://huggingface.co/mradermacher/ExoMind-9B-GGUF).
- **2026-08-12**: We release the official project page and public repository.

## Overview

ExoMind-9B is the compact ExoMind checkpoint, fine-tuned from
[Qwen3.5-9B](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B) for lower-resource
experimentation in scientific reasoning and agentic research. It follows the
same extended-mind-inspired approach, organizing the model, specialized
interaction objects, and autonomous interaction processes as one system.

## Highlights

- **Compact scientific checkpoint:** supports resource-conscious experiments
  with the ExoMind reasoning and interaction paradigm.
- **Scientific interaction:** works with source discovery, evidence grounding,
  executable verification, and observation integration workflows.
- **Progressive CoI training:** develops intrinsic reasoning and interaction
  behavior from selected pure-reasoning and interaction trajectories.
- **Multimodal foundation:** retains the image-text capabilities of its Qwen3.5
  base model.

## Quick Start

Use a recent vLLM or SGLang release with Qwen3.5 support. The examples below
use the checkpoint's configured maximum context length of 262,144 tokens.

### vLLM

```bash
vllm serve AI4SGI/ExoMind-9B \
  --port 8000 \
  --tensor-parallel-size 1 \
  --max-model-len 262144 \
  --reasoning-parser qwen3 \
  --enable-auto-tool-choice \
  --tool-call-parser qwen3_coder
```

### SGLang

```bash
python -m sglang.launch_server \
  --model-path AI4SGI/ExoMind-9B \
  --host 0.0.0.0 \
  --port 8000 \
  --tp-size 1 \
  --context-length 262144 \
  --reasoning-parser qwen3 \
  --tool-call-parser qwen3_coder
```

### OpenAI-Compatible API

```python
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(base_url="http://localhost:8000/v1", api_key="EMPTY")
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="AI4SGI/ExoMind-9B",
    messages=[
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "Develop a testable hypothesis and a rigorous verification plan for: ...",
        }
    ],
    temperature=1.0,
    top_p=0.95,
    extra_body={"top_k": 20},
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)
```
