Original Model Card
SmallThinker-3B-preview
We introduce SmallThinker-3B-preview, a new model fine-tuned from the Qwen2.5-3b-Instruct model.
Benchmark Performance
| Model | AIME24 | AMC23 | GAOKAO2024_I | GAOKAO2024_II | MMLU_STEM | AMPS_Hard | math_comp |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Qwen2.5-3B-Instruct | 6.67 | 45 | 50 | 35.8 | 59.8 | - | - |
| SmallThinker | 16.667 | 57.5 | 64.2 | 57.1 | 68.2 | 70 | 46.8 |
| GPT-4o | 9.3 | - | - | - | 64.2 | 57 | 50 |
Limitation: Due to SmallThinker's current limitations in instruction following, for math_comp we adopt a more lenient evaluation method where only correct answers are required, without constraining responses to follow the specified AAAAA format.
Intended Use Cases
SmallThinker is designed for the following use cases:
- Edge Deployment: Its small size makes it ideal for deployment on resource-constrained devices.
- Draft Model for QwQ-32B-Preview: SmallThinker can serve as a fast and efficient draft model for the larger QwQ-32B-Preview model. From my test, in llama.cpp we can get 70% speedup (from 40 tokens/s to 70 tokens/s).
Training Details
The model was trained using 8 H100 GPUs with a global batch size of 16. The specific configuration is as follows:
neat_packing: true
cutoff_len: 16384
per_device_train_batch_size: 2
gradient_accumulation_steps: 1
learning_rate: 1.0e-5
num_train_epochs: 3
lr_scheduler_type: cosine
warmup_ratio: 0.02
bf16: true
ddp_timeout: 180000000
weight_decay: 0.0
The SFT (Supervised Fine-Tuning) process was conducted in two phases:
First Phase:
- Used only the PowerInfer/QWQ-LONGCOT-500K dataset
- Trained for 1.5 epochs
Second Phase:
- Combined training with PowerInfer/QWQ-LONGCOT-500K and PowerInfer/LONGCOT-Refine datasets
- Continued training for an additional 2 epochs
Limitations & Disclaimer
Please be aware of the following limitations:
- Language Limitation: The model has only been trained on English-language datasets, hence its capabilities in other languages are still lacking.
- Limited Knowledge: Due to limited SFT data and the model's relatively small scale, its reasoning capabilities are constrained by its knowledge base.
- Unpredictable Outputs: The model may produce unexpected outputs due to its size and probabilistic generation paradigm. Users should exercise caution and validate the model's responses.
- Repetition Issue: The model tends to repeat itself when answering high-difficulty questions. Please increase the
repetition_penaltyto mitigate this issue.
