Checkpoint

Method SFT initialisation on Reddit-v2 (movies)
Data The processed Reddit-v2 release of Rank-GRPO (Zhu et al.), yaochenzhu/reddit-v2; SFT targets come from that release
Base model Qwen/Qwen3.5-4B-Base
Initialised from Qwen/Qwen3.5-4B-Base
Selected step 1000 (SFT steps)
Paper reference Table 2 (SFT row, 4B)
Weights bf16 safetensors, 1 file, 10.35 GB (5.17 B stored parameters, including the unused vision encoder). The file also stores lm_head.weight, a bit-identical copy of the tied input embeddings.

Usage

# pip install "transformers>=5.3.0" accelerate torch
import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

repo = "XINLI1997/ReMaRk-Qwen3.5-4B-RedditV2-SFT"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(repo)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(repo, dtype=torch.bfloat16, device_map="auto")

messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "I loved Inception, Arrival and Interstellar. What other movies would you recommend? Give me 20 titles."}]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, add_generation_prompt=True, enable_thinking=False, return_tensors="pt", return_dict=True).to(model.device)
output = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=512, do_sample=False)
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0, inputs["input_ids"].shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True))

The model answers with a recommendation list, one title (year) (or name (year) for music) per line. The exact instruction header wrapped around each Reddit request in training and evaluation, the decoding settings and the evaluation scripts are in the code repository; the request above is only an illustration.

Notes:

  • Qwen3.5 checkpoints need transformers>=5.3.0. They keep the Qwen3.5 multimodal layout (Qwen3_5ForConditionalGeneration); AutoModelForCausalLM loads the language model only (vLLM loads the folder directly; preprocessor_config.json and video_preprocessor_config.json are included for that). When training with TRL, pass the text tokenizer as processing_class.
  • The snippet uses non-thinking mode (enable_thinking=False).
  • trainer_state.json (training curves of the run) is included; no optimizer state.

Training

Supervised fine-tuning of the base model on the SFT targets of Reddit-v2 (movies). Full configurations and scripts are in the code repository.

Evaluation

This checkpoint is reported in the paper, Table 2 (SFT row, 4B); see the paper for its scores.

Limitations

  • Trained for conversational recommendation in one domain (movies); it is not a general assistant.
  • Recommendations reflect what the Reddit community recommended and the catalog used for grounding; popular items are favoured and the lists can carry the community's biases.
  • English only.
