MiniAI Quata2 (4B) โ€” v0.2

A 4B that holds its own: matches its base on general benchmarks, wins on tools, speaks Serbian, thinks before it speaks.

Quata2 4B v0.2 is MiniAI's new compact model from Belgrade. It is built on Qwen3.5-4B with Serbian continued pretraining, a new fine-tune and verified reasoning traces, then blended 80/20 with its base to keep the base's general strength. It runs on one 8 GB GPU (~2.8 GB at Q4_K_M), and the whole thing was trained on one 8 GB GPU too.

Highlights

  • Even with its base on general benchmarks, ahead on tools: against Qwen3.5-4B on 22 public benchmarks, 2 real wins (Winogrande, BFCL tool calling), 1 real loss (DROP), 19 ties.
  • Tool calling (BFCL): 88.7% vs 85.2% for the base.
  • Serbian: ties YugoGPT 7B on its own Serbian LLM Eval (59.0 vs 60.5, within the margin) at about half the size, ahead of its base (57.9); Belebele Serbian 86.6% vs 84.6%.
  • Thinking mode: MATH-500 95.0%, MMLU-Pro 81.0%, GPQA Diamond 62.6%.
  • Against other 4B-class models (thinking off): vs Qwen3 4B 2507 8 real wins / 3 losses; vs Gemma 4 E4B 6 real wins / 3 losses.
  • Knows who it is with no system prompt, holds a correct answer under pushback, solves more real agent tasks than its base.

How it was made

  1. Serbian continued pretraining: ~50M tokens of Serbian (Latin and Cyrillic) and English text โ†’ v0.2-base.
  2. Fine-tune: ~31,000 examples (chat, agents, tool calls, code, instruction following, maths, Serbian, uncertainty, identity) plus verified step-by-step reasoning traces.
  3. Blend: 80% fine-tuned weights + 20% Qwen3.5-4B (WiSE-FT). The raw fine-tune was behind its base on MMLU-Pro, GSM8K and instruction following; the blend wins those back while keeping the new skills.

Benchmarks (thinking off)

Same harness, prompts, settings and question samples for every model; Q4_K_M GGUF on llama.cpp, no system prompt. โœ… / โŒ = a real win / loss against the base (beyond 2 standard errors); unmarked rows are ties. Best per row in bold.

Quata's own checks

Targeted tests with the website's system prompt. Small sets (12โ€“300 items), so read them as directional.

Reading the numbers: what is noise

Every benchmark is a sample of questions, so every score has a margin of error. For two models on the same 500 questions, the gap needs to be about 2โ€“4 points before it means anything; on the small targeted checks (20โ€“40 questions) it needs to be 15โ€“25 points. We call a difference real only when it is larger than twice its standard error, computed pair by pair on the same questions. Anything smaller is a tie, even if one number is higher: a 1-point gap on a 500-question test is about 5 questions, a coin flip rather than a result.

Get started

Run it with Transformers

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, Qwen3_5ForConditionalGeneration

model_id = "M1n1A1/MiniAI-Quata2-4b-v0.2"
tok = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = Qwen3_5ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(
    model_id, torch_dtype="auto", device_map="auto"
)

messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "Ko te je napravio?"}]
prompt = tok.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True,
                                 enable_thinking=False)   # True = think step by step first
inputs = tok(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
out = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=512)
print(tok.decode(out[0][inputs.input_ids.shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True))

The safetensors include the Qwen3.5 vision tower; the GGUF is text-only.

Thinking mode: enable_thinking=True, or put /think / /no_think in a message. Give it room when it thinks: our thinking-mode numbers use up to 32,000 new tokens.

Run it with llama.cpp

llama-server -m MiniAI-Quata2-4b-v0.2-Q4_K_M.gguf --jinja -c 8192

Recommended sampling: temperature 0.7, top_p 0.8, top_k 20 (thinking: 0.6, 0.95, 20).

Details

  • Architecture: Qwen3.5-4B, 4.2B language parameters (+0.33B vision, +0.12B MTP), 32 layers, hidden size 2560, hybrid attention
  • Weights: 0.8 ร— fine-tuned Quata2 + 0.2 ร— Qwen3.5-4B (WiSE-FT blend)
  • Context length: 262,144 tokens in the model config; training used up to 2,048-token sequences
  • Precision: bf16 safetensors (9.7 GB with MTP); Q4_K_M GGUF (2.8 GB)
  • Languages: English first; Serbian, Croatian and Bosnian improved, grammar still behind English
  • License: Apache 2.0 (same as the base model)

Honest caveats

  • Real losses against the base: DROP. The base is also slightly ahead on IFEval and MMLU-Pro (within noise).
  • Qwen3 4B 2507 and Gemma 4 E4B are ahead on coding (HumanEval+) and instruction following (IFEval); Qwen3 4B 2507 also on tool calling (BFCL), Gemma 4 E4B on MuSR, BIG-Bench Hard and Belebele.
  • Serbian is improved but not native-level; on YugoGPT's suite YugoGPT is stronger at sentence completion (HellaSwag, PIQA), Quata at reading and reasoning (BoolQ, ARC).
  • Thinking-mode comparisons with other models are still running. Check important answers.
