Qwen2.5 Bakeneko 32B

Bakeneko 32B continues pretraining Qwen2.5-32B on about 18B tokens from Japanese and English corpora.

Research release

One adapted base supports several later releases

The model uses the original Qwen2.5 tokenizer. rinna subsequently builds instruction and reasoning variants through different chat-vector merges and preference-training methods.Qwen2.5 Bakeneko 32B official model card

Use this checkpoint to isolate language adaptation

Practical guidance. Compare the base with Qwen2.5 on the same Japanese completion tasks before testing chat variants. The later releases add several training operations, so their gains cannot all be assigned to continued pretraining.
