About

What Nanbeige4.1 is

Nanbeige4.1-3B is built upon Nanbeige4-3B-Base and represents an enhanced iteration of our previous reasoning model, Nanbeige4-3B-Thinking-2511, achieved through further post-training optimization with supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and reinforcement learning (RL). As a highly competitive open-source model at a small parameter scale, Nanbeige4.1-3B illustrates that compact models can simultaneously achieve robust reasoning, preference alignment, and effective agentic behaviors.

Specifically, Nanbeige4.1-3B exhibits the following key strengths:

Read the full model card
  • Strong Reasoning: Nanbeige4.1-3B is capable of solving complex, multi-step problems through sustained and coherent reasoning within a single forward pass, and reliably produces correct final answers on challenging tasks such as LiveCodeBench-Pro, IMO-Answer-Bench, and AIME 2026 I.
  • Robust Preference Alignment: Nanbeige4.1-3B achieves solid alignment performance, outperforming not only same-scale models such as Qwen3-4B-2507 and Nanbeige4-3B-2511, but also substantially larger models including Qwen3-30B-A3B and Qwen3-32B on Arena-Hard-v2 and Multi-Challenge.
  • Agentic Capability: Nanbeige4.1-3B is the first general small model to natively support deep-search tasks and reliably sustain complex problem solving involving more than 500 rounds of tool invocations. It fills a long-standing gap in the small-model ecosystem where models are typically optimized for either general reasoning or agentic scenarios, but rarely excel at both.

Deep Search Tasks

As a general small model, Nanbeige4.1-3B achieves deep-search performance comparable to specialized agents under 10B parameters. In contrast to existing small general models, which typically exhibit little to no deep-search capability, Nanbeige4.1-3B represents a substantial qualitative improvement over prior small general models.

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys nanbeige4-1 for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (nanbeige4-1 below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)
