Release2026-10-21

XHToken released Spark-X2.6-4B as its latest on-device language model. It keeps the Spark-X2.5-4B architecture but improves post-training. The model shows stronger coding, agent, long-context and multilingual performance. It matches or beats some 9B-parameter open-source models on benchmarks. It offers three thinking levels: none, low and high. It supports a 1,048,576-token context length. It runs on Transformers, SGLang, vLLM, MLX, llama.cpp, Ollama, LM Studio and Unsloth. It is licensed under Apache 2.0. Model weights and code are available on Hugging Face.
