We're thrilled to release Darwin-9B-NEG, a 9B-parameter reasoning model
that embeds an architecturally-internalised sense of self-confidence directly
into the transformer — our proprietary Native Entropy Gating (NEG) technology.
📊 GPQA Diamond (198 PhD-level questions):
▸ Baseline Darwin-9B (no NEG) → 51.01 %
▸ Pure NEG (greedy · 1× cost) → 63.64 % 🔥 +12.63 %p
▸ + Permutation (4× cost) → 76.26 %
▸ + Ensemble Refinement (~20×) → 84.34 % 🏆
With only 9 billion parameters and 1× inference cost, Pure NEG jumps
+12.63 %p over the same model without NEG. Going all-in with ensemble
refinement pushes it to 84.34 % — surpassing the published Qwen3.5-9B
leaderboard score (81.7 %) by +2.64 %p.
🔬 What makes NEG different from Multi-Turn Iteration (MTI)?
Classical MTI needs 3-8× extra inference passes. NEG instead lives
INSIDE the single decoding loop. Two tiny modules ride with the
transformer: NEG-Head predicts per-token entropy from the last hidden
state, and NEG-Gate conditionally restricts the top-k choice when
confidence is low. The gate activates in only 4.36 % of tokens —
essentially free at inference time.
✨ Key differentiators
• Architecturally internalised — model file *is* the feature
• 1× inference cost (vs. 3-8× for MTI)
• Drop-in with vLLM / SGLang / TGI / transformers — no extra engine
• +12.63 %p reasoning at zero latency overhead
• Single-file deployment, Apache 2.0 licensed
