BigBang-v1 vs MiMo-V2.6 Distill Qwen 9B

BigBang-v1

A Qwen3.6-35B-A3B fine-tuned on synthetic research problems, under plain Apache 2.0, for search, science and coding work. The publisher ships BF16 only, about 86 GB to run, and has no report, safety results or replies to questions, so smaller builds and support come from others.

MiMo-V2.6 Distill Qwen 9B

A 9B cousin tuned on MiMo-V2.6's agent work for coding, terminal tasks and visual coding, released as a base for RL research. It needs about 23 GB in BF16, since Xiaomi ships no smaller build. The main risks are no safety results while a seventh of its tuning is offensive security, and nobody at Xiaomi answering reports.

BigBang-v1

1. On the reference machine use vllm serve endless-frontier/BigBang-v1 --max-model-len 131072 --reasoning-parser qwen3 --enable-auto-tool-choice --tool-call-parser qwen3_coder
2. The card says to keep at least 128K of context so its thinking isn't cut short
3. Thinking control isn't documented, try the base template's enable_thinking false in chat_template_kwargs and check the output
4. For a smaller build you'll need someone else's quantisation, the publisher has none
5. Validate JSON output yourself or use the runtime's guided decoding

MiMo-V2.6 Distill Qwen 9B

1. Serve it as the card does, sglang serve --model-path XiaomiMiMo/MiMo-V2.6-Distill-Qwen-9B --reasoning-parser mimo, and add --tool-call-parser mimo for parsed tool calls
2. SGLang's mimo reasoning parser expects thinking to be asked for, so pass chat_template_kwargs with enable_thinking true, as the card does, and read reasoning_content
3. Calls come back as function and parameter blocks inside tool_call, the same shape vLLM's and SGLang's qwen3_coder parsers read
4. The generation config samples at temperature 0.6, top_k 20 and top_p 0.95
5. Images and video go in through Qwen3.5's processor; the template's audio tokens have no audio encoder behind them
6. The MTP head isn't in the files, so skip MTP speculative decoding even though config.json lists a layer
7. It's an SFT checkpoint meant for further RL, and discussions report runaway generation on llama.cpp, so cap max_tokens
