# 🧠 Manthan-M1

> *"Manthan" means churning — the churning of ideas to produce clarity, depth, and structured reasoning.*

**Manthan-M1** is a ~24–25B parameter multimodal reasoning model built in India for high-performance STEM, competitive exam solving, and multilingual understanding.  
It combines a Vision-Language encoder with a fine-tuned reasoning LLM and is optimized for structured, tool-augmented problem solving.

Built independently with a focus on Indian academic excellence 🇮🇳

## 🏗 Architecture

Manthan-M1 is a **two-stage reasoning system wrapped as a single model interface**:

### 1️⃣ Vision Module
- Based on **Qwen-3-VL encoder**
- Converts image → dense embeddings
- Handles:
  - Diagrams
  - Geometry figures
  - OCR-heavy exam sheets
  - Charts and tables

### 2️⃣ Reasoning Module
- Based on **openai/gpt-oss-20b**
- Heavily fine-tuned on:
  - 30 years of competitive math exams
  - Olympiad-style problems
  - Indian entrance examinations
  - Structured reasoning datasets
- Optimized for tool usage and step-based reasoning

> Designed to outperform larger open-weight baselines in math-heavy benchmarks.

from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoTokenizer
from PIL import Image
from modeling_unified import ManthanM1

model = ManthanM1.from_pretrained(
    "/tmp/Manthan-M1",
    dtype=torch.bfloat16,

vlm_processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("/tmp/Manthan-M1/vlm_processor")
llm_tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("/tmp/Manthan-M1/llm_tokenizer")

image = Image.open("test_image.jpg").convert("RGB")

response = model.generate(
    images=image,
    text_prompt="Solve the geometry problem shown in the image.",
    vlm_processor=vlm_processor,
    llm_tokenizer=llm_tokenizer,
    max_new_tokens=1024,
