Trained by Zyphra, in the ZAYA1 family ZAYA1-VL-8B · ZAYA1-74B-preview · all its cousins

Assessment. A small reasoning model trained from scratch by one lab, with a clean licence, 4-bit and FP8 builds and a team that answers questions. It's the hardest of the small models to run: its own architecture, a card that points at forks, and tool calling that needs a parser no release has. Little on limits, data or safety.

From our research 9 facts checked against the vendor's pages
Surface graded
The open weights at huggingface.co/Zyphra/ZAYA1-8B and the FP8-Experts and MXFP4-Experts repositories beside it, read from the model card, the files and their metadata, the config, the chat template, the commit history and the runtimes' own code at their latest releases on 10 November 2026. Zyphra's home and about pages were read for who it is. The technical report, the blog post and Zyphra's forks weren't read. Nothing was downloaded or run
Model
8,840,488,784 parameters in the files; the card says 8.4B with 760M active. A mixture of experts with 16 experts and one active per token, trained end to end by Zyphra and post-trained for reasoning from ZAYA1-reasoning-base. ZayaForCausalLM
Files
Four safetensors shards in BF16 (17.68 GB), chat_template.jinja, config and tokenizer files. No pickle files and no Python. The FP8-Experts repository is 9.64 GB and the MXFP4-Experts one 5.85 GB. Hugging Face lists a SHA-256 for the large files
Licence
Apache 2.0 in the main repository's metadata. There is no LICENSE file, and the FP8-Experts and MXFP4-Experts repositories have no licence tag
Runtimes
The card documents vLLM and Transformers from Zyphra's own forks. Released Transformers 5.22.2 has the zaya model and SGLang 0.5.23 has srt/models/zaya.py. Released vLLM 0.33.0 and llama.cpp b12242 have no code for it
Context
Not stated on the card. config.json gives 131,072 positions
Tools and reasoning
The card's vLLM command sets auto tool choice with a zaya_xml tool-call parser, which exists in Zyphra's fork and in no released runtime, and the qwen3 reasoning parser. The chat template takes tools and an enable_thinking switch
Hardware
No memory figure on the card, which says the model can run on-device. Its parallel-deployment note covers 8 GPUs. The 4-bit build is 5.85 GB
Training data
Not described on the card. The technical report wasn't read

Facts verified 10 November 2026 from vendor docs, repositories and package registries. JSON · Markdown

Strengths

  • Apache 2.0, ungated
  • 5.9 GB at 4 bits, 760M parameters active
  • Released Transformers and SGLang carry the architecture
  • Zyphra replied in most of the recent discussions
  • The original checkpoint is kept beside the reshaped one

Weaknesses

  • Tool calling needs a parser that only Zyphra's vLLM fork has
  • Released vLLM and llama.cpp don't run it, and there's no GGUF
  • The card's install steps use forks
  • No limitations, context length, languages, data or safety results on the card
  • Benchmarks on the card are all from Zyphra's own harness

Before you call it notes for agents

  1. Use it for reasoning, maths and code. Don't count on tool calling outside Zyphra's vLLM fork
  2. Run it with Transformers 5.22.2 or SGLang 0.5.23, which have the model built in
  3. Use temperature 1.0 and top_p 0.95 in general, and temperature 0.6 for agent and code work
  4. Download Zyphra/ZAYA1-8B, not the legacy repository, for the released runtimes
  5. The quantised repositories have no licence tag. The main one is Apache 2.0

Terms and privacy, as read

Terms of service none to read

TL;DR Nothing is hosted by the vendor, so there are no terms of service to read. The Apache-2.0 licence stands in and the check scores in full.

Privacy policy none to read

TL;DR Nothing is hosted by the vendor, so there is no privacy policy to read and the check isn't scored.

A reading by a fixed set of rules, each answered with the vendor's own sentence. It isn't legal advice, a rule can miss a clause or misread one, and the document itself is what binds. How it's read and scored.

www.zyphra.com's robots.txt allows reading outside /studio and /api. Its about page gives a San Francisco address and names no people in the text read.

The domain's registration date wasn't looked up. www.zyphra.com has no security.txt (404 on 10 November 2026).

Nothing is hosted under this listing, so Apache 2.0 stands in for terms of service and no privacy policy is scored. Zyphra's site lists a cloud product for its open models, which wasn't read.

The changelog is the commit history, 41 commits from 4 May to 26 June 2026.

Score breakdown methodology v0.7 · October 2026 research run

Assessed on 10 November 2026 from public evidence, against the published checklist. Confidence low. Performance and Task success are pending until our probes and task suites run, so the total is over the 7 assessed categories, each weight divided by 80.

CategoryWeight this runScorePoints
Capabilitynot scored in this run 35%pending pending n/a
Reachchecked 10 November 2026 25%38.5 30.8
Memory 30, the smallest build from Zyphra is the MXFP4-Experts repository, 5.85 GB, and 5.85 GB × 1.2 = 7.0 GB, within 16 GB. Runtimes 10, Released Transformers 5.22.2 has the zaya model and SGLang 0.5.23 has srt/models/zaya.py. Builds 15, Quantised builds from Zyphra at two precisions, FP8 and MXFP4 for the experts, each in its own repository. Terms 15, Apache 2.0 in the card's metadata, an OSI licence with nothing added. Download 10, the Hub API reports gated false for the model and its builds on 10 November 2026, so the files download with no account and nothing to accept. Hosted 0, Hugging Face maps no inference provider to it, and the card names no API. Zyphra's site lists a cloud product for its open models, which wasn't checked for this model. 30 + 10 + 15 + 15 + 10 + 0 = 80.
Riskchecked 10 November 2026 20%30.8 16.9
File safety 25, safetensors only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files and no Python in the repository. Provenance 15, the files sit in the Zyphra organisation, which the card ties to zyphra.com's blog post for the model (10). Safety evaluation 0, no safety results on the card. Agent guidance 0, the card has no limitations or safety section, and nothing on prompt injection, instruction priority or what the model refuses. Licence risk 15, Apache 2.0 has no use policy, threshold or change clause. Security programme 0, no way to report a flaw on the card, and www.zyphra.com has no security.txt. 25 + 15 + 0 + 0 + 15 + 0 = 55.
Agent interfacechecked 10 November 2026 10%15.4 9.2
Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository (10,700 characters). Tool-calling format 10, only the template and a fork say it. Trained tool calling 10, the template takes tools and renders calls, and the card recommends settings for agent use, but it doesn't say the model was trained for tool calling or for several calls in a turn, so the lower band. Structured output 0, Nothing on the card about JSON or schema-constrained output. Reasoning control 10, the template has an enable_thinking switch, and the card names the qwen3 reasoning parser, which returns the reasoning apart from the answer. Context 10, 131,072 positions in config.json, for an architecture Zyphra trained end to end, so the config is the model's own. 20 + 10 + 10 + 0 + 10 + 10 = 60.
Documentation and upkeepchecked 10 November 2026 10%15.4 7.7
Model card 5, Intended use and the parameter counts are on the card. Training data 0, Nothing on the card about the training data. Last change 10, the main repository last changed on 26 June 2026 (the checkpoint reshaped for Transformers), 137 days before this check, and the quantised repositories on 2 July, 131 days. Responsiveness 20, Of the 16 most recent discussions that aren't pull requests (7 May to 14 August 2026), 10 have a reply from a Zyphra member, which is most. Version policy 5, the original checkpoint is kept as ZAYA1-8B-legacy and the card says so at the top, without a date. File health 10, Config, template and card agree on the architecture after the reshape. 5 + 0 + 10 + 20 + 5 + 10 = 50.

  1. Graded 61 C methodology v0.7

Fix list 13 items, the biggest gain first

Everything this grade says the listing lacks, from the reasons above, the checklist, the provenance checks, the deductions, what we couldn't check and what the review panel asked for, with the steps, ready to paste into a coding agent working on ZAYA1-8B. A fix counts at the next check, once it's public.

What we couldn't check

  • Context is 10 on config.json alone, since Zyphra trained the architecture itself. The card states no length
  • Which released runtime loads the FP8 and MXFP4 expert builds wasn't established, so the build that fits 8 GB may need Zyphra's fork
  • ZAYA1-VL-8B, the vision model, has 35 times the downloads and isn't listed
  • Zyphra's site lists a cloud product for its open models. Whether it serves this one wasn't checked
  • Capability is pending because no independent results were looked up on the day
  • unchecked on 10 November: the technical report (arXiv 2605.05365), the blog post, Zyphra's forks, its cloud product, Ollama's library and LM Studio's catalogue
