| title: "Piko-9b: a composed 9.65B hybrid-attention vision-language model" | |
| abstract: >- | |
| Piko-9b is a 9.65-billion-parameter vision-language model assembled by splicing a | |
| fine-tuned language backbone, derived from deepreinforce-ai/Ornith-1.0-9B through a | |
| chain of merged QLoRA stages, with the vision tower of Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B copied | |
| verbatim. It uses a hybrid attention stack of 24 gated linear-attention layers and | |
| 8 full-attention layers, with a declared 262,144-token context. | |
