Add model metadata and links to paper and code
Browse filesHi! I'm Niels from the community science team at Hugging Face.
This PR improves the model card by adding relevant metadata and links:
- Added `pipeline_tag: text-generation`.
- Added `library_name: transformers` as the repository follows the standard Transformers structure.
- Added `license: apache-2.0` based on the project documentation.
- Linked the research paper to its arXiv page.
- Linked the official GitHub repository for the project.

KernelGen-LM-8B is a state-of-the-art domain-adaptive large language model specialized for low-level NPU kernel generation, specifically for the Huawei Ascend architecture using the AscendC programming language. Built upon the Qwen3-8B backbone, it is trained on the Ascend-CoT dataset and refined via reinforcement learning with execution feedback.
