Model reference · open weights
circu-sparsity is an open-weight language model from openai. AxForge deploys and operates it for you on dedicated EU-owned hardware — with the licence handled where one is required.
Available as managed deployment — configured and operated for you on dedicated EU hardware, quoted per deployment.

About
Weights for a sparse model from Gao et al. 2025, used for the qualitative results from the paper (related to bracket counting and variable binding). All weights for the other models used in the paper, as well as lightweight inference code, are present in https://github.com/openai/circuit_sparsity. In the context of that repo, this model is csp_yolo2.
This is a runnable standalone huggingface implementation for one of the models. It includes code to load the locally converted HF model + tokenizer and run a tiny generation.

Using it via the API
Once AxForge deploys circu-sparsity for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (circu-sparsity below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)
$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"model":"circu-sparsity","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}]}'
