As Large Language Models (LLMs) approach human expert performance, their continued development is increasingly constrained by training tasks conceived within the limits of human knowledge. We argue that open-ended capability growth requires verifiable frontier tasks: problems at the boundary of current knowledge whose solutions can be objectively evaluated through formal methods, computation, simulation, or domain-specific tools. To this end, we introduce BigBang, a general-purpose LLM evolved from Qwen 3.6 35B-A3B through efficient post-training with an adversarial, self-evolving synthetic data framework. The framework contains two core components: (1) generator agents that continually propose and solve increasingly challenging scientific and technical problems, and (2) critic agents that evaluate correctness, difficulty, scalability, and diversity, while using held-out real research tasks to calibrate the evolving synthetic-data distribution. Through iterative generator–critic interaction, the framework constructs approximately 10,000 high-difficulty post-training examples across multiple domains. Despite the modest data scale, BigBang substantially outperforms its base model across scientific research, reasoning, coding, and tool-use benchmarks, achieving aggregate performance between DeepSeek V4 Flash (284B) and DeepSeek V4 Pro (1.6T). These results demonstrate that self-evolving synthesis of verifiable frontier tasks provides a promising path toward scalable and open-ended intelligence.
BigBang-V1 on eight representative benchmarks spanning long-horizon search, software engineering, scientific research, and AI research. BigBang-V1 obtains the highest reported score among the selected 35B models on all eight benchmarks. It even exceeds DeepSeek V4 Pro Preview (1.6T) on FrontierScience Research, Humanity's Last Exam, PaperBench(Code-Dev) and BioMysteryBench-HD.
Comparison of BigBang-V1 with representative closed- and open-source frontier models, together with models at the 35B scale, across benchmarks for long-horizon search, coding, scientific research, and AI research. The "-" indicates the score is not publicly available or not tested.

BigBang-V1 can be served via APIs with popular inference frameworks. In the following, we show example commands to launch OpenAI-Compatible API servers for BigBang-V1 models.
Important. Inference efficiency and throughput vary significantly across frameworks. We recommend using the latest framework versions to ensure optimal performance and compatibility. For production workloads or high-throughput scenarios, dedicated serving engines such as SGLang, KTransformers or vLLM are strongly recommended.
Important. The model has a default context length of 262,144 tokens. If you encounter out-of-memory (OOM) errors, consider reducing the context window. However, because BigBang-V1 leverages extended context for complex tasks, we advise maintaining a context length of at least 128K tokens to preserve thinking capabilities.
SGLang is a fast serving framework for large language models and vision language models. sglang>=0.5.10 is recommended for BigBang-V1, which can be installed using the following command in a fresh environment:
The following will create API endpoints at http://localhost:8000/v1:

Tool Use: To support tool use, you can use the following command. shell python -m sglang.launch_server --model-path endless-frontier/BigBang-v1 --port 8000 --tp-size 8 --mem-fraction-static 0.8 --context-length 262144 --reasoning-parser qwen3 --tool-call-parser qwen3_coder
Multi-Token Prediction (MTP): The following command is recommended for MTP: shell python -m sglang.launch_server --model-path endless-frontier/BigBang-v1 --port 8000 --tp-size 8 --mem-fraction-static 0.8 --context-length 262144 --reasoning-parser qwen3 --speculative-algo NEXTN --speculative-num-steps 3 --speculative-eagle-topk 1 --speculative-num-draft-tokens 4
vLLM is a high-throughput and memory-efficient inference and serving engine for LLMs. vllm>=0.19.0 is recommended for BigBang-V1, which can be installed using the following command in a fresh environment:
The following will create API endpoints at http://localhost:8000/v1:
Standard Version: The following command can be used to create an API endpoint with maximum context length 262,144 tokens using tensor parallel on 8 GPUs. shell vllm serve endless-frontier/BigBang-v1 --port 8000 --tensor-parallel-size 8 --max-model-len 262144 --reasoning-parser qwen3
Tool Call: To support tool use, you can use the following command. shell vllm serve endless-frontier/BigBang-v1 --port 8000 --tensor-parallel-size 8 --max-model-len 262144 --reasoning-parser qwen3 --enable-auto-tool-choice --tool-call-parser qwen3_coder
Multi-Token Prediction (MTP): The following command is recommended for MTP: shell vllm serve endless-frontier/BigBang-v1 --port 8000 --tensor-parallel-size 8 --max-model-len 262144 --reasoning-parser qwen3 --speculative-config '{"method":"qwen3_next_mtp","num_speculative_tokens":2}'

KTransformers is a flexible framework for experiencing cutting-edge LLM inference optimizations with CPU-GPU heterogeneous computing. For running BigBang-V1 with KTransformers, see the KTransformers Deployment Guide.
Hugging Face Transformers contains a lightweight server which can be used for quick testing and moderate load deployment. The latest transformers is required for BigBang-V1:
pip install "transformers[serving]"
See its documentation for more details. Please also make sure torchvision and pillow are installed.
Then, run transformers serve to launch a server with API endpoints at http://localhost:8000/v1; it will place the model on accelerators if available:
