DR Tulu SFT 8B

This is the SFT checkpoint of DR Tulu, an open deep research agent trained on top of Qwen3-8B.

This model has undergone SFT training on this dataset. For more details on DR Tulu please read our [paper](https://allenai.org/papers/drtulu)!

Inference and Usage

This model has been trained for tool-use using the dr-agent-lib framework. As such, running it out of the box with HuggingFace or vLLM will not work well!

See our github for more details on installation and how to run our model. Or check out our demo!
