Quick Start

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("continuum-ai/qwen3.5-4b-code-forged",
    torch_dtype="auto", device_map="auto")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("continuum-ai/qwen3.5-4b-code-forged")

inputs = tokenizer("def merge_sort(arr):", return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
output = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=200)
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

The Science

Experiential Plasticity — not compression, architectural optimization:

1. Train on code data (LoRA + AMP)
2. Measure each attention head's contribution (entropy)
3. Prune heads that don't contribute
4. Retrain — surviving heads specialize
5. Repeat — each cycle improves

Scaling law: improvement increases with model size. Domain-specific training (code) amplifies the effect.

Model	Domain	Improvement
Qwen2.5-0.5B	general	-3.2%
Qwen2.5-7B	general	+11.8%
Qwen3.5-4B	code	+22.7%
Qwen3.5-27B	code	+3.5%

Transfer function: 1.45 × exp(-0.18 × cycle) - 0.03
