KAT-Dev-32B – Code Large Language Model Released by Kuaishou’s Kwaipilot

What is KAT-Dev-32B?

KAT-Dev-32B is an open-source code-focused large language model released by Kuaishou’s Kwaipilot team, with 3.2 billion parameters. On the SWE-Bench Verified benchmark, it achieved a 62.4% solve rate, ranking 5th overall. The model was trained in multiple stages, including intermediate training, supervised fine-tuning (SFT), reinforcement fine-tuning (RFT), and large-scale agent reinforcement learning (RL), to enhance its abilities in tool usage, multi-turn dialogue understanding, and instruction following. It supports mainstream programming languages such as Python, JavaScript, Java, C++, and Go, and is available on Hugging Face for developers to use.
