Model Detail
Darwin-36B-Opus
▲ 2.2%Darwin-36B-Opus is a large language model with 36B parameters released by FINAL-Bench. The model is registered under the text-generation pipeline tag on Hugging Face, distributed under the permissive apache-2.0 license.
Darwin-36B-Opus ships with 36B parameters. Total weight footprint is approximately 34.7 GB, which is the relevant figure when planning local-inference VRAM. The apache-2.0 license is permissive, allowing commercial deployment and derivative work without per-seat fees, though attribution requirements still apply.
Downloads of Darwin-36B-Opus have moved +2.2% over the past 24 hours, +164.4% over the trailing seven days. That puts the model in active uptrend territory; a sustained move of this size usually reflects a recent release, a viral integration, or a benchmark surprise rather than steady-state demand. These numbers are signal, not guarantee — week-over-week download counts on Hugging Face also reflect mirror traffic, CI scrapes, and one-off benchmarking runs.
Darwin-36B-Opus is best fit for general-purpose chat and instruction-following workloads. Treat this as a starting matrix rather than a benchmark verdict — the right deployment usually depends on the specific evaluation suite that mirrors your workload.
DarwinLM: Evolutionary Structured Pruning of Large Language Models
arXiv:2502.07780v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved significant success across various NLP tasks. However, their massive computational costs limit their widespread use, particularly in real-time applications. Structured pruning offers an effective solution
Darwin Family: MRI-Trust-Weighted Evolutionary Merging for Training-Free Scaling of Language-Model Reasoning
arXiv:2605.14386v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present Darwin Family, a framework for training-free evolutionary merging of large language models via gradient-free weight-space recombination. We ask whether frontier-level reasoning performance can be improved without additional training, by re
Direct From Darwin: Deriving Advanced Optimizers From Evolutionary First Principles
arXiv:2605.05284v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Evolutionary computation has long promised to deliver both high-performance optimization tools as well as rigorous scientific simulations of Darwinian evolution. However, modern algorithms frequently abandon evolutionary fidelity for physics-
DarwinNet: An Evolutionary Network Architecture for Agent-Driven Protocol Synthesis
arXiv:2604.01236v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Traditional network architectures suffer from severe protocol ossification and structural fragility due to their reliance on static, human-defined rules that fail to adapt to the emergent edge cases and probabilistic reasoning of modern auton
