🧠 ThoughtSwitch V1 1.7B Instruct — A Mode-Adaptive Reasoning Language Model

Model ID: BrainWave-ML/ThoughtSwitch-V1-1.7b-Instruct
Architecture: Decoder-only transformer (GPT-style)
Parameters: 1.7 Billion
Capabilities: Dynamic "Thinking" vs. "Non-Thinking" mode-switching
Fine-Tuned for: Instruction-following

---

🚀 Overview

ThoughtSwitch V1 is a next-generation instruction-tuned language model that brings a new paradigm to text generation: Autonomous Cognitive Mode Switching.

It is capable of interpreting user prompts and switching between two distinct modes of behavior:

• 🧠 Thinking Mode: Deep reasoning, logical step-by-step solutions, slow but deliberate outputs.
• 💬 Non-Thinking Mode: Quick completions, casual replies, storytelling, and chat-like fluency.

Whether you're building reasoning agents, fast assistants, or multi-modal chains-of-thought applications, ThoughtSwitch adapts intelligently—so you don’t have to force the prompt.

🧠 Key Features

• ✅ Autonomous Mode Switching
  Understands when to think deeply and when to generate fluently, based on prompt phrasing.

• ✅ Instruction Tuned
  Trained to follow human-like instructions and align closely with user intent.

• ✅ 1.7B Parameters
  Small enough for efficient inference, yet powerful for sophisticated reasoning.

• ✅ Open Weights
  Fully accessible under a permissive license (specify in HF model card).

✨ Example Prompts

Prompt (Thinking Mode): "Think step by step to solve this math problem: What is 17 multiplied by 23?"

→ Reasoned output with intermediate steps and justification.

Prompt (Non-Thinking Mode): "Write a quick sci-fi story about a robot discovering love."

→ Smooth, creative storytelling without unnecessary reasoning.

🔧 Usage

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("BrainWave-ML/ThoughtSwitch-V1-1.7b-Instruct") model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("BrainWave-ML/ThoughtSwitch-V1-1.7b-Instruct")

prompt = "Think step by step: Why does ice float on water?" inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt") outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=150) print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

---

🧪 Intended Use Cases

• 🧠 Reasoning Agents — For multi-hop question answering, logical puzzles, or decision support.
• 📚 Tutoring & Education — Adaptive explanations that vary depth based on student prompts.
• 🤖 Conversational AI — More natural and flexible interactions with variable "thinking effort".
• ✍️ Creative Writing — Generate stories, poems, and ideas with or without deep context.

---

⚠️ Limitations

• Like all LLMs, it may hallucinate or generate biased content.
• Mode switching is probabilistic, not guaranteed—prompt clearly for best results.
• Performance may vary outside of English or unfamiliar domains.
