Astral-4B-Preview-GGUF
Astral-4B-Preview is a reasoning-centric language model from the Astral series, built on Qwen3-4b-thinking-2507 and fine-tuned on the nvidia/AceReason-1.1-SFT dataset to deliver configurable, step-by-step logical reasoning for research and development use. By including a "Reasoning-level" directive in the system prompt, users can control the model’s depth of reasoning—from direct answers to ultra-detailed reasoning traces—enabling nuanced, structured responses tailored to diverse problem-solving needs. As a preview release, Astral-4B-Preview is ideal for evaluating advanced reasoning capabilities with user-guided depth control in scientific and technical tasks.
