# BigBang-V1
## Introduction
As Large Language Models (LLMs) approach human expert performance, their continued development is increasingly constrained by training tasks conceived within the limits of human knowledge. We argue that open-ended capability growth requires verifiable frontier tasks: problems at the boundary of current knowledge whose solutions can be objectively evaluated through formal methods, computation, simulation, or domain-specific tools. To this end, we introduce BigBang, a general-purpose LLM evolved from Qwen 3.6 35B-A3B through efficient post-training with an adversarial, self-evolving synthetic data framework. The framework contains two core components: (1) generator agents that continually propose and solve increasingly challenging scientific and technical problems, and (2) critic agents that evaluate correctness, difficulty, scalability, and diversity, while using held-out real research tasks to calibrate the evolving synthetic-data distribution. Through iterative generator–critic interaction, the framework constructs approximately 10,000 high-difficulty post-training examples across multiple domains. Despite the modest data scale, BigBang substantially outperforms its base model across scientific research, reasoning, coding, and tool-use benchmarks, achieving aggregate performance between DeepSeek V4 Flash (284B) and DeepSeek V4 Pro (1.6T). These results demonstrate that self-evolving synthesis of verifiable frontier tasks provides a promising path toward scalable and open-ended intelligence.

## Quickstart
For streamlined integration, we recommend using BigBang-V1 via APIs. Below is a guide to use BigBang-V1 via OpenAI-compatible API.
### Serving BigBang-V1
BigBang-V1 can be served via APIs with popular inference frameworks.
In the following, we show example commands to launch OpenAI-Compatible API servers for BigBang-V1 models.
> [!Important]
> Inference efficiency and throughput vary significantly across frameworks.
> We recommend using the latest framework versions to ensure optimal performance and compatibility.
> For production workloads or high-throughput scenarios, dedicated serving engines such as SGLang, KTransformers or vLLM are strongly recommended.
> [!Important]
> The model has a default context length of 262,144 tokens.
> If you encounter out-of-memory (OOM) errors, consider reducing the context window.
> However, because BigBang-V1 leverages extended context for complex tasks, we advise maintaining a context length of at least 128K tokens to preserve thinking capabilities.
#### SGLang
[SGLang](https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang) is a fast serving framework for large language models and vision language models.
`sglang>=0.5.10` is recommended for BigBang-V1, which can be installed using the following command in a fresh environment:
```shell
uv pip install sglang[all]
```
See [its documentation](https://docs.sglang.ai/get_started/install.html) for more details.
The following will create API endpoints at `http://localhost:8000/v1`:
- **Standard Version**: The following command can be used to create an API endpoint with maximum context length 262,144 tokens using tensor parallel on 8 GPUs.
```shell
python -m sglang.launch_server --model-path endless-frontier/BigBang-v1 --port 8000 --tp-size 8 --mem-fraction-static 0.8 --context-length 262144 --reasoning-parser qwen3
```
- **Tool Use**: To support tool use, you can use the following command.
```shell
python -m sglang.launch_server --model-path endless-frontier/BigBang-v1 --port 8000 --tp-size 8 --mem-fraction-static 0.8 --context-length 262144 --reasoning-parser qwen3 --tool-call-parser qwen3_coder
```
- **Multi-Token Prediction (MTP)**: The following command is recommended for MTP:
```shell
python -m sglang.launch_server --model-path endless-frontier/BigBang-v1 --port 8000 --tp-size 8 --mem-fraction-static 0.8 --context-length 262144 --reasoning-parser qwen3 --speculative-algo NEXTN --speculative-num-steps 3 --speculative-eagle-topk 1 --speculative-num-draft-tokens 4
```
For detailed deployment guide, see the [SGLang Qwen3.5 Cookbook](https://lmsysorg.mintlify.app/cookbook/llm/Qwen/Qwen3.5).
#### vLLM
[vLLM](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm) is a high-throughput and memory-efficient inference and serving engine for LLMs.
`vllm>=0.19.0` is recommended for BigBang-V1, which can be installed using the following command in a fresh environment:
```shell
uv pip install vllm --torch-backend=auto
```
See [its documentation](https://docs.vllm.ai/en/stable/getting_started/installation/index.html) for more details.
The following will create API endpoints at `http://localhost:8000/v1`:
- **Standard Version**: The following command can be used to create an API endpoint with maximum context length 262,144 tokens using tensor parallel on 8 GPUs.
```shell
vllm serve endless-frontier/BigBang-v1 --port 8000 --tensor-parallel-size 8 --max-model-len 262144 --reasoning-parser qwen3
```
- **Tool Call**: To support tool use, you can use the following command.
```shell
vllm serve endless-frontier/BigBang-v1 --port 8000 --tensor-parallel-size 8 --max-model-len 262144 --reasoning-parser qwen3 --enable-auto-tool-choice --tool-call-parser qwen3_coder
```
- **Multi-Token Prediction (MTP)**: The following command is recommended for MTP:
```shell
vllm serve endless-frontier/BigBang-v1 --port 8000 --tensor-parallel-size 8 --max-model-len 262144 --reasoning-parser qwen3 --speculative-config '{"method":"qwen3_next_mtp","num_speculative_tokens":2}'
```
- **Text-Only**: The following command skips the vision encoder and multimodal profiling to free up memory for additional KV cache:
```shell
vllm serve endless-frontier/BigBang-v1 --port 8000 --tensor-parallel-size 8 --max-model-len 262144 --reasoning-parser qwen3 --language-model-only
```
For detailed deployment guide, see the [vLLM Qwen3.5 Recipe](https://docs.vllm.ai/projects/recipes/en/latest/Qwen/Qwen3.5.html).
#### KTransformers
[KTransformers](https://github.com/kvcache-ai/ktransformers) is a flexible framework for experiencing cutting-edge LLM inference optimizations with CPU-GPU heterogeneous computing.
For running BigBang-V1 with KTransformers, see the [KTransformers Deployment Guide](https://github.com/kvcache-ai/ktransformers/blob/main/doc/en/Qwen3.5.md).
#### Hugging Face Transformers
Hugging Face Transformers contains a _lightweight_ server which can be used for quick testing and moderate load deployment.
The latest `transformers` is required for BigBang-V1:
```shell
pip install "transformers[serving]"
```
See [its documentation](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main/serving) for more details. Please also make sure torchvision and pillow are installed.
Then, run `transformers serve` to launch a server with API endpoints at `http://localhost:8000/v1`; it will place the model on accelerators if available:
```shell
transformers serve endless-frontier/BigBang-v1 --port 8000 --continuous-batching
```
