RWKV7-G1i-2.9B-20260805

This is RWKV-7 (G1i) model under flash-linear attention format.

Model introduction

RWKV-7 is an attention-free recurrent architecture with a constant-size recurrent state and constant inference work per generated token. Training remains parallelizable.

This checkpoint is a base model pretrained with web, code, synthetic, instruction, chat, and reasoning data. It is suitable for evaluation, post-training, and fine-tuning; the included chat template is a prompt interface, not a claim that the checkpoint is a safety-aligned assistant.
