NextTransformer/Circle-Loop-49B-Tokens

NextTransformer Circle Loop

After the first circuit, every block becomes an exit.

This is the final Circle Loop checkpoint in the NextTransformer 49.152B-token architecture comparison. It has 927,992,523 parameters and a 2,048-token context. The model was pretrained on ClimbMix for 46,875 updates. The 49B in the repository name refers to training tokens.

Load the weights

Install the tested NextTransformer implementation and the safetensors reader in a Python 3.10–3.13 environment.

pip install "nexttransformer @ git+https://github.com/Interactive-Active-AI/NextTransformer.git@7aa267a88b45e4a19a9739ccb4ba3f196d7aacc0" safetensors

The example encodes a prompt with the checkpoint's tokenizer and prints its most likely next token.
