# Youtu-LLM

## Overview

The Youtu-LLM model was proposed in [Youtu-LLM Technical Report](https://huggingface.co/papers/2512.24618) by Tencent Youtu Team.

The abstract from the paper is the following:
We introduce Youtu-LLM, a lightweight yet powerful language model that harmonizes high computational efficiency with native agentic intelligence. Unlike typical small models that rely on distillation, Youtu-LLM (1.96B) is pre-trained from scratch to systematically cultivate reasoning and planning capabilities. The key technical advancements are as follows: (1) Compact Architecture with Long-Context Support: Built on a dense Multi-Latent Attention (MLA) architecture with a novel STEM-oriented vocabulary, Youtu-LLM supports a 128k context window. This design enables robust long-context reasoning and state tracking within a minimal memory footprint, making it ideal for long-horizon agent and reasoning tasks. (2) Principled "Commonsense-STEM-Agent" Curriculum: We curated a massive corpus of approximately 11T tokens and implemented a multi-stage training strategy. By progressively shifting the pre-training data distribution from general commonsense to complex STEM and agentic tasks, we ensure the model acquires deep cognitive abilities rather than superficial alignment. (3) Scalable Agentic Mid-training: Specifically for the agentic mid-training, we employ diverse data construction schemes to synthesize rich and varied trajectories across math, coding, and tool-use domains. This high-quality data enables the model to internalize planning and reflection behaviors effectively. Extensive evaluations show that Youtu-LLM sets a new state-of-the-art for sub-2B LLMs. On general benchmarks, it achieves competitive performance against larger models, while on agent-specific tasks, it significantly surpasses existing SOTA baselines, demonstrating that lightweight models can possess strong intrinsic agentic capabilities.

### Usage tips

The model uses Multi-head Latent Attention (MLA) architectures for efficient inference. The model can be used for various language tasks after being pre-trained on approximate 11 trillion tokens and going through Supervised Fine-Tuning and Reinforcement Learning stages. The following example demonstrates how to load the model, enable Reasoning Mode, and use the re module to parse the "Thought Process" and the "Final Answer" from the output.

```python
import re

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

# 1. Configure Model
model_id = "tencent/Youtu-LLM-2B"

# 2. Initialize Tokenizer and Model
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_id,
    device_map="auto"
)

# 3. Construct Dialogue Input
prompt = "Hello"
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": prompt}]

# Use apply_chat_template to construct input; set enable_thinking=True to activate Reasoning Mode
input_ids = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    tokenize=True,
    add_generation_prompt=True,
    return_tensors="pt",
    enable_thinking=True
).to(model.device)

# 4. Generate Response
outputs = model.generate(
    input_ids,
    max_new_tokens=512,
    do_sample=True,
    temperature=1.0,
    top_p=0.95,
    repetition_penalty=1.05
)

# 5. Parse Results
full_response = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)

def parse_reasoning(text):
    """Extract thought process within <think> tags and the subsequent answer content"""
    thought_pattern = r"<think>(.*?)</think>"
    match = re.search(thought_pattern, text, re.DOTALL)

    if match:
        thought = match.group(1).strip()
        answer = text.split("</think>")[-1].strip()
    else:
        thought = "(No explicit thought process generated)"
        answer = text
    return thought, answer

thought, final_answer = parse_reasoning(full_response)

print(f"\n{'='*20} Thought Process {'='*20}\n{thought}")
print(f"\n{'='*20} Final Answer {'='*20}\n{final_answer}")
```

This generated:

``````text
==================== Thought Process ====================
The user greeted with 'Hello', which is a simple and friendly opening. Since the input is in English, I should respond in English as per the instruction. I need to introduce myself clearly according to the defined identity: state my name (Youtu-llm), developer (Tencent Youtu team), purpose (helping users solve problems), key capabilities (mathematics, coding, Agent), and goal (efficient and accurate problem-solving). The response should be welcoming and open-ended to encourage further interaction, while staying within the provided identity constraints. No extra information beyond what is specified should be added.

==================== Final Answer ====================
Hello! I am Youtu-llm, a large language model developed by the Tencent Youtu team. I am designed to assist users in solving various problems, excelling in tasks such as mathematics, coding, and Agent-related operations. My goal is to make problem-solving more efficient and accurate through intelligent interaction. How can I assist you today?

### Key Configuration Details

#### Reasoning Mode Toggle

Controlled via the `enable_thinking` parameter in the `apply_chat_template` method:

* **True (Recommended Default):** Activates Chain of Thought; ideal for complex logic and reasoning tasks.
* **False:** Outputs results directly; faster response time, suitable for simple conversations.

#### Recommended Decoding Parameters

Depending on your use case, we suggest adjusting the following hyperparameters for optimal generation:

| Parameter | Reasoning Mode | Normal Mode |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `do_sample` | `True` | `True` |
| `temperature` | **1.0** (Maintains creativity) | **0.7** (More stable results) |
| `top_p` | 0.95 | 0.8 |
| `top_k` | 20 | 20 |
| `repetition_penalty` | 1.05 | - |

> **Tip:** When using Reasoning Mode, a higher `temperature` helps the model perform deeper, more divergent thinking.

This model inherits from [PreTrainedModel](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/main_classes/model#transformers.PreTrainedModel). Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the
library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads
etc.)

This model is also a PyTorch [torch.nn.Module](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/nn.html#torch.nn.Module) subclass.
Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage
and behavior.

  Indices of input sequence tokens in the vocabulary. Padding will be ignored by default.

  Indices can be obtained using [AutoTokenizer](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/model_doc/auto#transformers.AutoTokenizer). See [PreTrainedTokenizer.encode()](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/internal/tokenization_utils#transformers.PreTrainedTokenizerBase.encode) and

  [What are attention masks?](../glossary#attention-mask)
- **position_ids** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Indices of positions of each input sequence tokens in the position embeddings. Selected in the range `[0, config.n_positions - 1]`.

  [What are position IDs?](../glossary#position-ids)
- **past_key_values** (`~cache_utils.Cache`, *optional*) --
  Pre-computed hidden-states (key and values in the self-attention blocks and in the cross-attention
  blocks) that can be used to speed up sequential decoding. This typically consists in the `past_key_values`
  returned by the model at a previous stage of decoding, when `use_cache=True` or `config.use_cache=True`.

  Only [Cache](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/internal/generation_utils#transformers.Cache) instance is allowed as input, see our [kv cache guide](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/en/kv_cache).

  The model will output the same cache format that is fed as input.

  If `past_key_values` are used, the user is expected to input only unprocessed `input_ids` (those that don't
  have their past key value states given to this model) of shape `(batch_size, unprocessed_length)` instead of all `input_ids`
  of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`.

  model's internal embedding lookup matrix.
- **use_cache** (`bool`, *optional*) --
  If set to `True`, `past_key_values` key value states are returned and can be used to speed up decoding (see
  `past_key_values`).0[BaseModelOutputWithPast](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/main_classes/output#transformers.modeling_outputs.BaseModelOutputWithPast) or `tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`A [BaseModelOutputWithPast](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/main_classes/output#transformers.modeling_outputs.BaseModelOutputWithPast) or a tuple of

The [YoutuModel](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/model_doc/youtu#transformers.YoutuModel) forward method, overrides the `__call__` special method.

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the `Module`
instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while
the latter silently ignores them.

- **last_hidden_state** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`) -- Sequence of hidden-states at the output of the last layer of the model.

  If `past_key_values` is used only the last hidden-state of the sequences of shape `(batch_size, 1,

  `config.is_encoder_decoder=True` in the cross-attention blocks) that can be used (see `past_key_values`
  input) to speed up sequential decoding.
- **hidden_states** (`tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`, *optional*, returned when `output_hidden_states=True` is passed or when `config.output_hidden_states=True`) -- Tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` (one for the output of the embeddings, if the model has an embedding layer, +
  one for the output of each layer) of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`.

  Hidden-states of the model at the output of each layer plus the optional initial embedding outputs.
- **attentions** (`tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`, *optional*, returned when `output_attentions=True` is passed or when `config.output_attentions=True`) -- Tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` (one for each layer) of shape `(batch_size, num_heads, sequence_length,

  heads.

**Parameters:**

config ([YoutuConfig](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/model_doc/youtu#transformers.YoutuConfig)) : Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model. Initializing with a config file does not load the weights associated with the model, only the configuration. Check out the [from_pretrained()](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/main_classes/model#transformers.PreTrainedModel.from_pretrained) method to load the model weights.

**Returns:**
