đĨ Okay, yesterday we had MiniCPM5-2B, but today
@OpenSquilla turned Qwen3.5-9B into a ~5.7GB LOCAL agent model, and their training method is interesting.
The new NeoHorse-1-9B family is a post-trained Qwen3.5-9B specifically for agents, tool use + coding.
It learned from actual multi-model agent execution traces.
Setup ...
đ§ tool calls
â failed attempts
đ model handoffs
đ§ changed plans
â
environment-verified successes
Then they fed those experiences back into the 9B model.
Their reported results vs Qwen3.5-9B:
đ¤ QwenClaw: 44.04 â 48.73
đ PinchBench: 74.55 â 82.25
đ VitaBench: 31.25 â 42.25
đ BFCL v4: 64.88 â 67.43
đģ HumanEval: 92.68 â 98.17
Overall: 65.60 â 69.04
This is the model I'm most interested in for ThumbLLM
đ§ ~9B parameters
đž Q4_K_M GGUF ~5.7GB

đĨī¸ LM Studio
đ¤ Hermes / OpenClaw
đ 262K native context
âī¸ Apache 2.0
So you can run this entirely locally on CPU or GPU.
This isn't a bigger model.
It's an attempt to make the same small local model better at actually DOING things. đĨ
â ī¸ Benchmarks are reported by the NeoHorse team and I want to do these tests myself next.
