Overview
The paper "Occamy-1.0: Open Pareto-frontier 35B Intelligence for Co-work" (arXiv: 2609.11977, published 2026-09-15) presents a cost-efficient model for agentic co-work scenarios.
Key Points
- Motivation: Co-work agents execute complex workflows combining information gathering, tool use, coding, and file manipulation across many model invocations. Since cost and latency accumulate over the full episode, practical value depends not only on peak capability but on how efficiently capability is delivered. Many everyday work steps emphasize state tracking, coordination, recovery, and follow-through rather than frontier-scale reasoning.
- Approach: Occamy-1.0 is obtained by further training the post-trained Qwen3.6-35B-A3B checkpoint. The team builds execution-grounded data and environments, captures replayable long-horizon trajectories across multiple harnesses, and uses staged post-training to develop and consolidate complementary execution capabilities.
- Results: On a broad set of co-work benchmarks, Occamy-1.0 consistently ranks among the strongest models of its size and stays competitive with much larger frontier systems on several tasks. Under the paper's prescribed evaluation and pricing protocol, its combined performance on four representative benchmarks places it at the low-cost inflection point of the observed cost-performance Pareto frontier.
- Generality: Supporting evaluations on tool calling, coding, and instruction following show that this specialization preserves broad agentic capabilities.
- Openness: The model weights and a subset of training data are released to support research on practical co-work agents and agentic post-training.
