Libraries

How to use zml5418/SFT-MiniCPM4.1-8B with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="zml5418/SFT-MiniCPM4.1-8B", trust_remote_code=True)
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# pip install -U transformers accelerate
# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("zml5418/SFT-MiniCPM4.1-8B", trust_remote_code=True, device_map="auto")

SFT-MiniCPM4.1-8B

Checkpoints of openbmb/MiniCPM4.1-8B post-trained with SFT in NoThink mode (enable_thinking=False) on DAPO-Math, released with the paper

Thinking Leakage: A Causal Audit of NoThink Post-Training in Hybrid Reasoning Models Zehao Liu, Vasant G. Honavar. arXiv:2609.28682

These are research artifacts for studying how NoThink post-training moves the model along the Think/NoThink axis of the residual stream ("thinking leakage"). They are not intended as improved general-purpose models.

Checkpoints

Each saved training step is a separate branch:

revision	training step
`step-25`	25
`step-50`	50
`step-75`	75
`step-100`	100

The main branch holds this card and the final checkpoint (step-100). Weights dtype: bfloat16.

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

repo, rev = "zml5418/SFT-MiniCPM4.1-8B", "step-100"
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(repo, revision=rev, torch_dtype="bfloat16", trust_remote_code=True)
tok = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(repo, revision=rev, trust_remote_code=True)

Requires trust_remote_code=True (MiniCPM ships its own modeling code).

Training

Training and evaluation details are given in the paper.
