            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },

            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(

ExoMind: Democratizing Scientific Intelligence via Extended-Mind-Inspired Agentic System

ExoMind Team · Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory

🔥 News

2026-08-12: 🔥 We release the ExoMind technical report, 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. 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 67.5, 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.

OpenAI-Compatible API

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.
