StripedHyena Nous 7B

Tev1 4B Experimental is an experimental decision model from Together AI, a supervised fine-tune of Qwen3.5-4B trained to choose one option from a structured state, question, and list of 2-24 labeled options. It keeps Qwen's standard next-token head, so it is served through the regular chat completions API rather than a dedicated decisions runtime.

Send a system instruction followed by a JSON decision containing state, question, and options. The model returns a single option letter, which application code maps back to the option key. Recommended settings are temperature: 0, max_tokens: 8, and thinking disabled. It is intended for routing, classification, and policy checks, not generic chat. Together publishes the full data recipe and training code so teams can fine-tune their own variant.

This is the base model variant of the StripedHyena series, developed by Together.

StripedHyena uses a new architecture that competes with traditional Transformers, particularly in long-context data processing. It combines attention mechanisms with gated convolutions for improved speed, efficiency, and scaling. This model marks an advancement in AI architecture for sequence modeling tasks.
