From the model card
GigaChat 3.5 Reasoning is the first GigaChat model with full reasoning trained with online RL. Compared with GigaChat 3.5 Ultra Instruct, the largest gains are in mathematics, code, instruction following, and structured output.
This repository contains GGUF weights for llama.cpp.
Version for high-performance inference in FP8 - GigaChat3.5-432B-A28B-Reasoning.
Model in BF16 - GigaChat3.5-432B-A28B-Reasoning-bf16.
GigaChat 3.5 Reasoning is a 432B Mixture-of-Experts model with 28B active parameters. It uses a custom hybrid architecture that combines Multi-head Latent Attention (MLA) with GatedDeltaNet linear-attention layers.
The model also uses GatedNorm, a learned multiplicative gate applied after RMSNorm, and has three MTP heads for speculative decoding. The maximum supported context length is 262K tokens.
Post-training starts from an SFT checkpoint. We train six domain experts independently with online RL and then combine them into one release model with on-policy distillation (OPD).
| Expert | Tasks | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| STEM | Mathematics, olympiad problems, natural sciences | Final-answer verification |
| Code | Algorithms, code editing, test generation | Code execution |
| Code Agent | Repository-level tasks in the style of SWE-bench | Tests after applying the patch |
| General Agent | Function calling, user interaction, memory, search | Final environment state |
| Dialogue | User dialogue | Side-by-side evaluation with an LLM judge |
| Soft Skills | Instruction following, formats, long context, structured output | Final-answer verification |
The experts are trained with CISPO. Before training, the current checkpoint is evaluated on the task pool and tasks solved in more than 75% of attempts are removed. As the model improves, the training set shifts toward harder tasks.
Rewards are domain-specific but follow the same general construction: gated checks for hard constraints, additive rewards for answer quality, and an adaptive length penalty.
After RL, the six experts are combined with on-policy distillation. The student generates its own trajectory, while the expert for the corresponding domain provides token-level supervision on that trajectory.
