d24-sft-v1base-mathheavy-3.7B
v1-base SFT chat model, math-heavy midtrain.
nanochat-style depth-24 decoder — 24 layers × 1536 hidden × 12 heads, SwiGLU / RoPE / RMSNorm, tied embeddings, GPT-2 BPE vocab (50304), 0.757B params, 2048-token context.
Lineage. v1 pretrain (5.84B ClimbMix, undertrained) → math-heavy midtrain (3.7B: FineMath/OpenMath/MetaMath/OpenThoughts + ClimbMix anchor) → SFT (nanochat mix).
Metrics. GSM8K (greedy, full 1319): 5.46% · SFT val lm-loss 0.164.
Use (chat)
This is a chat model (ChatML). The turn terminator it emits is the literal string <|im_end|> — which is not the eos_token_id (50256 = <|endoftext|>) and is not even a single token. You must stop on the <|im_end|> string or generation will not stop:
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
mid = "sfanm/d24-sft-v1base-mathheavy-3.7B"
tok = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(mid)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(mid, torch_dtype="bfloat16", device_map="auto")
msgs = [{"role": "user", "content": "Natalia sold clips to 48 friends in April and half as many in May. How many total?"}]
ids = tok.apply_chat_template(msgs, add_generation_prompt=True, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
out = model.generate(ids, max_new_tokens=512, do_sample=False, stop_strings=["<|im_end|>"], tokenizer=tok)
print(tok.decode(out[0, ids.shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=False))
Without
stop_strings=["<|im_end|>"]the model rambles tomax_new_tokens: the configuredeos_token_id(50256) is the GPT-2 document EOS, which a chat turn does not end with. For vLLM, passstop=["<|im_end|>"].
Research checkpoint from a from-scratch nanochat-d24 replication (pretrain → midtrain → SFT → RL) on NERSC Perlmutter. Trained on third-party corpora (ClimbMix, FineMath, OpenMath, MetaMath, OpenThoughts, OLMo-3 Dolmino, SmolTalk, …) — see those datasets' licenses; provided as-is for research.
