ByteDance-Seed/Seed-OSS-36B-Instruct

Seed-OSS is a family of open-source large language models developed by ByteDance's Seed team, specifically designed for robust long-context processing, reasoning, agent capabilities, and general-purpose performance. Among this series, Seed-OSS-36B-Instruct is an instruction-tuned model with 36 billion parameters that natively supports exceptionally long context lengths, enabling it to handle massive documents or complex codebases in a single pass. The model has been specially optimized for tasks such as reasoning, code generation, and agent-based applications—including tool usage—while maintaining well-balanced and outstanding general-purpose abilities. A key feature of this model is its "Thinking Budget" functionality, which allows users to flexibly adjust the reasoning length according to their needs, significantly enhancing inference efficiency in real-world applications.
