## 🔥 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 is the first extended-mind-inspired agentic system designed for
scientific reasoning and research. It organizes a general-purpose model,
specialized interaction objects, and autonomous interaction processes as one
system, allowing the model to discover sources, ground evidence, execute
verification, and update its reasoning around each scientific problem.

This repository hosts the main checkpoint, fine-tuned from
[Qwen3.5-35B-A3B](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3.5-35B-A3B). With
training-value-aware data engineering, a scientific interaction framework, and
two-stage progressive Chain-of-Interaction training, ExoMind raises the average
score across eight scientific benchmarks from **36.2 to 68.3**, achieves the
highest average among all evaluated models, and ranks first on six benchmarks.

## Highlights

- **Extended-mind-inspired intelligence:** unifies the LLM, interaction
  objects, and autonomous interaction processes as a scientific agentic system.
- **Training-value-aware data engineering:** identifies challenging, learnable
  problems and routes them to pure-reasoning or interaction-reasoning data.
- **Scientific interaction:** turns source discovery, evidence grounding,
  executable verification, and observation integration into composable objects.
- **Progressive CoI training:** jointly develops intrinsic reasoning and
  autonomous interaction using a few thousand high-quality trajectories.
- **Efficient frontier performance:** completes two-stage full-parameter SFT in
  1–2 days on 8 NVIDIA H200 GPUs while improving all six evaluated general
  capability benchmarks over the 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 \
  --port 8000 \
  --tensor-parallel-size 8 \
  --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 \
  --host 0.0.0.0 \
  --port 8000 \
  --tp-size 8 \
  --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",
    messages=[
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "Develop and verify a rigorous solution to this scientific problem: ...",
        }
    ],
    temperature=1.0,
    top_p=0.95,
    extra_body={"top_k": 20},
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)
```

The complete scientific interaction workflow and prompt contracts are available
in the [ExoMind GitHub repository](https://github.com/AI4SGI/ExoMind).

## Evaluation

Under the preprint's evaluation setup, ExoMind reaches an
eight-benchmark average of **68.3**, compared with **54.2** for the next-best
representative model shown below.
