# HyperCLOVA X

## Overview

HyperCLOVA X SEED Think is NAVER Cloud's language model combining pruning and knowledge distillation with advanced reasoning capabilities. The 14B model features a Transformer-based architecture with Peri-Layer Normalization and Maximal Update Parameterization (μP), 14.74B parameters, and 32k context length. It supports dual-mode reasoning (think / non-think) and function calling via a ChatML-based format.

The model was trained with a multi-stage RL pipeline (SFT → RLVR → Length Controllability → joint RLHF+RLVR) and achieves strong performance on Korean language benchmarks and reasoning tasks.

HyperCLOVA X shares a high degree of implementation similarity with [Granite](./granite), with the following modifications:

- **Maximal Update Parametrization (MuP)**: uses per-config scaling factors (`attention_multiplier`, `residual_multiplier`, `embedding_multiplier`, `logits_scaling`) to enable stable training across model sizes. `head_dim` (defaults to `hidden_size // num_attention_heads`) is used to compute the default `attention_multiplier`.
- **Peri-Layer Normalization** (optional): applies an extra RMSNorm after each sub-layer output when `use_post_norm=True`.

This model was contributed by [NAVER Cloud HyperCLOVA X Team](https://huggingface.co/naver-hyperclovax). The original model can be found at [naver-hyperclovax/HyperCLOVAX-SEED-Think-14B](https://huggingface.co/naver-hyperclovax/HyperCLOVAX-SEED-Think-14B).

## Usage

The model uses a ChatML-based format with special tokens `<|im_start|>`, `<|im_end|>`, `<|endofturn|>`, and `<|stop|>`. The `apply_chat_template` method accepts the following kwargs:

- `force_reasoning=True` — always think before answering
- `skip_reasoning=True` — always answer directly (non-think mode)
- Default (`None`) — model decides based on context
