Qwen 3.5 9B - TerminalTraj#

This is a model trained using DPPO on top of Qwen 3.5 9B for use as a terminal-agent. This model was trained as an ablation on the Terminal-Traj dataset.

This model is part of a collection of terminal agents in various sizes.

Additionally, we provide model checkpoints as branches of the repository. The main model checkpoint is step 100 as this performed best on TBLite.

Evaluation Results#

For details on evaluation methodology please check our paper. In general, we used a podman (docker) backend with default timeouts and custom harness similar to mini-swe-agent.
