Libraries

How to use simonlqy/SkillGate-9B with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="simonlqy/SkillGate-9B")
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/p-blog/candy.JPG"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
pipe(text=messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForMultimodalLM

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("simonlqy/SkillGate-9B")
model = AutoModelForMultimodalLM.from_pretrained("simonlqy/SkillGate-9B", device_map="auto")
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/p-blog/candy.JPG"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(processor.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

+# SkillGate-9B
+Policy from **"SkillGate: Training In-Policy Skill Selection in Long-Horizon Agents."**
+Agent frameworks expose *skills* — instruction files with a name, a one-line
+description and a body — by progressive disclosure: the agent sees only names and
+descriptions and must open a file to learn what is inside. With thousands of skills in
+a library, *which* one to read becomes a decision the policy makes mid-episode, and
+outcome-rewarded RL cannot teach it: the tokens naming the chosen skill carry a median
+0.14% of their trajectory's loss weight, and two in five of them receive a *negative*
+advantage because execution afterwards failed.
+SkillGate partitions one trajectory's token support into two disjoint credit channels:
+outcome credit reaches only execution tokens (the whole skill-read call is removed from
+the task loss), while an action-local advantage reaches exactly the skill-naming
+tokens, positive only when the trajectory's single read is the correct skill.
+## Model
+| | |
+|---|---|
+| Base | Qwen3.5-9B |
+| Training | 100 steps on-policy GRPO, 491 tasks, 8 rollouts/prompt, global batch 128, lr 1e-6, KL 3e-5, selector coefficient 0.20 |
+| Checkpoint | `iter_0000099`, the final step (`selection_role: final`) |
+| Architecture | `Qwen3_5ForConditionalGeneration` |
+## Results (385-trial protocol, 5 agentic benchmarks, 16-candidate slate)
+| Method | Overall | Oracle read | Misleading read |
+|---|---:|---:|---:|
+| SFT (RL init) | 40.8 | 37.9 | 61.8 |
+| SkillRL (outcome reward only) | 47.0 | 54.3 | 69.6 |
+| **SkillGate** | **53.2** | **83.9** | **21.8** |
+Same initialisation, data, steps and hyperparameters as the outcome-only row; the only
+difference is which tokens the gradient reaches.
+## Intended use
+Research on agentic skill/tool selection. The model expects the OpenClaw-style prompt
+profile and tool schema used in the paper; see the repository for the exact system
+prompt and the frozen skill slates.
