๐ฅ 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 ...
๐ง tool calls
โ failed attempts
๐ model handoffs
๐ง changed plans
โ
environment-verified successes
Then they fed those experiences back into the 9B model.
Their reported results vs Qwen3.5-9B:
๐ค QwenClaw: 44.04 โ 48.73
๐ PinchBench: 74.55 โ 82.25
๐ VitaBench: 31.25 โ 42.25
๐ BFCL v4: 64.88 โ 67.43
๐ป HumanEval: 92.68 โ 98.17
Overall: 65.60 โ 69.04
This is the model I'm most interested in for ThumbLLM

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. ๐ฅ
โ ๏ธ Benchmarks are reported by the NeoHorse team and I want to do these tests myself next.
