# Apollo-1-8B

[![Model](https://img.shields.io/badge/Model-Apollo--1--8B-blue)](https://huggingface.co/NoemaResearch/Apollo-1-8B)
[![Base](https://img.shields.io/badge/Base-Qwen3--8B-green)](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3-8B)
[![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-Apache_2.0-yellow)](LICENSE)

Apollo-1-8B is a **8 billion parameter instruction-tuned model** developed by **Noema Research**.
It is based on [Qwen3-8B](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3-8B) and optimized for **advanced reasoning, instruction following, and high-performance deployment**.

This model represents the **large-scale member** of the Apollo series, balancing strong reasoning capabilities with efficiency for multi-domain applications.

---

## Model Overview

* **Base model:** `Qwen3-8B`
* **Architecture:** Decoder-only transformer
* **Parameters:** \~8B
* **Context length:** up to 32k tokens (inherits Qwen3 long-context support)
* **Domain:** General-purpose reasoning, instruction following, and code generation
* **Primary applications:**

  * Advanced conversational AI
  * Multi-step reasoning and problem solving
  * Knowledge assistants and tutoring systems
  * Software development and code generation
* **License:** anvdl-1.0

---

## Key Features

* **Instruction tuning** for reliable multi-step reasoning and task completion
* **Extended reasoning depth** compared to Apollo-1-4B for complex queries
* **Long-context handling**, inherited from Qwen3 architecture
* **Multilingual coverage**, supporting diverse languages and domains
* **Balanced resource requirements**, deployable on high-end consumer hardware and cloud GPUs

---

## Usage

The model is available in Hugging Face Transformers format. Example:

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
import torch
model_id = "NoemaResearch/Apollo-1-8B"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id, trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_id,
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    device_map="auto",
    trust_remote_code=True
)
messages = [
    {"role":"system", "content":"You are Apollo, a reasoning assistant."},
    {"role":"user", "content":"Explain the differences between supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning with examples."}
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, add_generation_prompt=True, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=1024, temperature=0.6, top_p=0.9)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
```

**Recommended settings:**

* `temperature=0.4–0.8`
* `top_p=0.9–0.95`
* Lower temperatures yield more factual and concise answers

---

## Evaluation

Apollo-1-8B demonstrates stronger reasoning and instruction-following capabilities relative to Apollo-1-4B, with internal evaluations indicating:

* Higher accuracy on complex multi-step reasoning tasks
* More robust **instruction adherence**
* Reduced **hallucinations** in factual and structured outputs
* High efficiency for large-context tasks

A full benchmark report will be provided in a future update.
For upstream performance details, see the [Qwen3-8B model card](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3-8B).

---

## Limitations

* **Reasoning scale**: While improved, Apollo-1-8B cannot match ultra-large models (14B+) on extremely complex or open-ended tasks
* **Knowledge breadth**: Some highly specialized or niche knowledge may be limited
* **Hallucinations**: May generate plausible but incorrect information
* **Prompt sensitivity**: Outputs remain dependent on careful prompt formulation

---

## Responsible Use

* Do not rely on Apollo-1-8B for critical decisions without human oversight
* Verify outputs before applying in factual, legal, or safety-critical contexts
* Avoid providing personal or sensitive data in prompts
* The model should not be used to generate unsafe, harmful, or disallowed content

---

## Model Variants

* **Full precision (safetensors)** — research and high-fidelity inference
* **bf16 / fp16** — efficient inference on modern accelerators
* **Quantized versions (int8 / int4)** — deployment in resource-constrained environments
