|
| | ## About |
| |
|
| | Pensez is a bilingual (French-English) reasoning model designed to maximize efficiency with significantly reduced training data. The model leverages a curated dataset focusing on daily reasoning tasks and scientific questions to enhance performance. |
| |
|
| | Key strategies for improved reasoning: |
| | - **Concise reasoning** for simple tasks to prevent overthinking. |
| | - **Extended reasoning** for complex domains like mathematics, coding, and science. |
| | - **Special tokens (`<think>...</think>`)** to explicitly guide the model’s reasoning process. |
| |
|
| | These optimizations result in superior reasoning capabilities while maintaining robust general understanding compared to models like [DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B](https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B). |
| |
|
| | ## Models and Datasets |
| |
|
| | ### Model Versions |
| |
|
| | Pensez is built upon [Qwen 2.5 Instruct 7B](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct) and trained over five epochs. |

| | ## Run Locally |
| | |
| | You can run Pensez using Hugging Face’s `transformers` library: |
| | |
| | ```python |
| | import torch |
| | from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM |
| | |
| | model_path = "HoangHa/Pensez-v0.1-e5" |
| |
|
| | # Load tokenizer and model |
| | tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_path) |
| | model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained( |
| | model_path, torch_dtype=torch.float16, device_map="auto" |
| | ) |
| |
|
| | # Example input |
| | messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "Bonjour!"}] |
| | input_ids = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=True, add_generation_prompt=True, return_tensors='pt').to("cuda") |
| |
|
| | generated_ids = model.generate(input_ids, max_new_tokens=2500, temperature=0.8, repetition_penalty=1.1, do_sample=True, eos_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id) |
| | response = tokenizer.decode(generated_ids[0], skip_special_tokens=True, clean_up_tokenization_space=True) |
| | print(f"Réponse: {response}") |
| | ``` |
