Model Overview:

• Training Data: This model was trained on a dataset with columns for initial reasoning, step-by-step thinking, verifications after each step, and final answers based on full context. Is it better than the original base model? Hard to say without proper evaluations, and I don’t have the resources to run them manually.

• Context Handling: The model benefits from larger contexts (minimum 4k up to 16k tokens, though it was trained on 32k tokens). It tends to "overthink," so providing a longer context helps it perform better.

• Performance: Based on my very few manual tests, the model seems to excel in conversational settings—especially for mental health, creative tasks and explaining stuff. However, I encourage you to try it out yourself using this Colab Notebook.

• Dataset Note: The publicly available dataset is only a partial version. The full dataset was originally designed for a custom Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture, but I couldn't afford to run the full experiment.

• Acknowledgment: Special thanks to KingNish for reigniting my passion to revisit this project. I almost abandoned it after my first attempt a month ago. Enjoy this experimental model!

Inference Code:

• Feel free to make the steps and verifications collapsable and the initial reasoning too, you can show only the final answer to get an o1 feel(i don't know)
• Note: A feature we have here is the ability to control how many steps and verifications you want.

Uploaded model

• Developed by: Lyte
• License: apache-2.0
• Finetuned from model : unsloth/llama-3.2-3b-instruct-bnb-4bit

This llama model was trained 2x faster with Unsloth and Huggingface's TRL library.

Notice:

• The problem with runnning evals is that they won't make use of the correct template and it won't be a true eval then would it? so these barely test the model.
