# OpenThinkerAgent-8B-ColdStartSFTForRL
|
| 32 |
+
|
| 33 |
+
**OpenThoughts-Agent** is an open-source effort to curate the best datasets for training agents. Our release includes [datasets](https://huggingface.co/collections/open-thoughts/openthinker-agent), [models](https://huggingface.co/collections/open-thoughts/openthinker-agent) and our [research codebase](https://github.com/open-thoughts/OpenThoughts-Agent).
|
| 34 |
+
|
| 35 |
+
[OpenThinkerAgent-8B-ColdStartSFTForRL](https://huggingface.co/open-thoughts/OpenThinkerAgent-8B-ColdStartSFTForRL) is the **cold-start, pre-RL base** of the OpenThoughts-Agent 8B SFTโRL recipe. It is post-trained from [Qwen/Qwen3-8B](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3-8B) with full-parameter SFT on the cold-start [OpenThoughts-Agent-SFT-ColdStartForRL-10K](https://huggingface.co/datasets/open-thoughts/OpenThoughts-Agent-SFT-ColdStartForRL-10K) dataset. Its purpose is to give the model the agentic interaction format and tool-use behaviour needed to make subsequent reinforcement learning stable; it is then RL-trained to produce [OpenThinkerAgent-8B-RL](https://huggingface.co/open-thoughts/OpenThinkerAgent-8B-RL).
|

+
|
| 37 |
+
> **Architecture note.** Although the upstream artifact carries a `GLM-4.7` label (which refers to the *teacher* that generated the SFT trajectories, not the student), this model is a **Qwen3-8B**. Its `config.json` reports `model_type: qwen3`, `architectures: ["Qwen3ForCausalLM"]`, 36 layers, hidden size 4096, 32 attention heads / 8 KV heads, and a 40,960-token context โ i.e. standard Qwen3-8B.

# Intended uses & limitations
|
| 82 |
+
|
| 83 |
+
This checkpoint is intended as the **starting point for agentic RL**, not as a final deployable agent. It has learned the agentic format and tool-use conventions of the terminus-2 harness from a relatively small cold-start set; its standalone agentic performance is expected to be below the RL-trained successor [OpenThinkerAgent-8B-RL](https://huggingface.co/open-thoughts/OpenThinkerAgent-8B-RL). As with the base Qwen3-8B, outputs may be incorrect or unsafe and should not be executed without review. No standalone agentic-benchmark numbers are published for this cold-start checkpoint.
