About

Nanbeige4 is the fourth-generation model series from Nanbeige LLM Lab (BOSS Zhipin / Kanzhun Limited). Characterized by strong reasoning at small scale: 3B parameters pre-trained on 23 trillion tokens (Nanbeige4-3B), and the enhanced Nanbeige4.1-3B with 256K context and agentic capabilities. Both models are open-source and available on HuggingFace.
