- R · What Makes It Special
- 2.69B-parameter hybrid (128K context) pre-trained on ~34T tokens; post-training ran agentic RL inside real harnesses (Hermes Agent, OpenClaw, Pi) so tool calling was learned where it happens. Beats Qwen3.5-9B — three times its size — on ToolSandbox (77.83) and instruction following; 220 tok/s on an M5 Max CPU. Model card honestly scopes it away from agentic coding and knowledge-heavy work: built for private, on-device agents.
