# Vector-L1-4B
|
| 15 |
+
|
| 16 |
+
**Vector-L1-4B** is an open language model built by **MikaLabs** to help teachers create classroom materials β differentiated worksheets, lesson plans, quizzes, mark schemes, misconception guides, and tailored explanations across Maths and the Sciences.
|
| 17 |
+
|
| 18 |
+
The "L1" denotes **Light, version 1** β the first and smallest member of a planned Vector model family. It is designed to run on modest consumer hardware so that schools and individual teachers can use it locally and offline.

## Model Summary

Vector-L1-4B identifies itself as **Vector**, a teaching assistant by MikaLabs.

+
## Intended Use
|
| 37 |
+
|
| 38 |
+
Vector-L1-4B is intended as a **teaching-assistant model** for educators. It is good at:
|
| 39 |
+
|
| 40 |
+
- **Differentiated worksheets** β multi-tier (support / core / extension) question sets that show genuine difficulty progression.
|
| 41 |
+
- **Mark schemes** β with method marks (M) and answer marks (A) shown separately.
|
| 42 |
+
- **Misconception guides** β listing common, subject-specific student misconceptions and how to address them.
|
| 43 |
+
- **Lesson plans** β structured with objectives, starters, main activities, and plenaries.
|
| 44 |
+
- **Mixed-format questions** β short answer, true/false, fill-in-the-blank, calculation, explain-your-reasoning.
|
| 45 |
+
- **Concept explanations** β pitched to a specified age or ability level.
|
| 46 |
+
- **Following formatting and structural instructions** β e.g. "no multiple choice", "output as a markdown table", "give three tiers".
|
| 47 |
+
|
| 48 |
+
### Out of Scope / Not Intended For
|
| 49 |
+
|
| 50 |
+
- High-stakes or unsupervised assessment without a human teacher reviewing the output.
|
| 51 |
+
- A substitute for a qualified teacher's judgement.
|
| 52 |
+
- General-purpose chat, coding, or non-educational tasks (it is specialised).
|
| 53 |
+
- Subjects outside Maths and the Sciences (coverage is weaker elsewhere).
|
| 54 |
+
|
| 55 |
+
---
|
| 56 |
+
|
| 57 |
+
## Strengths
|
| 58 |
+
|
| 59 |
+
Vector-L1-4B punches well above its size as a teaching assistant. It excels at:
|
| 60 |
+
|
| 61 |
+
- **Differentiated worksheets** with genuinely distinct support / core / extension tiers and real difficulty progression.
|
| 62 |
+
- **Professional mark schemes** that separate method marks (M) from answer marks (A), the way real exam marking works.
|
| 63 |
+
- **Subject-specific misconception guides** β identifying the actual errors students make on a topic and how to address them.
|
| 64 |
+
- **Structured lesson plans** with clear objectives, starters, main activities, and plenaries.
|
| 65 |
+
- **A wide range of question formats** β short answer, true/false with justification, fill-in-the-blank, calculation, and explain-your-reasoning β without defaulting to multiple choice.
|
| 66 |
+
- **Strong instruction-following** on complex, multi-part requests (e.g. "three tiers, a mark scheme, misconceptions, no multiple choice, output as markdown").
|
| 67 |
+
- **Accurate level calibration**, pitching difficulty appropriately for the age or ability you specify.
|
| 68 |
+
- **Clean, ready-to-use output** β it produces the resource you asked for directly, without conversational filler.
|
| 69 |
+
|
| 70 |
+
## A Note on Scale
|
| 71 |
+
|
| 72 |
+
Vector-L1-4B is a compact 4-billion-parameter model designed to run on everyday school hardware. It is built for **school and secondary-level teaching**, not university or research-level material. On very hard problems it may occasionally make mistakes, so β as with any AI tool β **answer keys and factual content should be reviewed by a teacher before use with students.**
|
| 73 |
+
|
| 74 |
+
## How to Use
|
| 75 |
+
|
| 76 |
+
Example (transformers):
|
| 77 |
+
|
| 78 |
+
```python
|
| 79 |
+
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
|
| 80 |
+
|
| 81 |
+
model_id = "MikaLabs/Vector-L1-4B"
|
| 82 |
+
tok = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
|
| 83 |
+
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id, device_map="auto")
|
| 84 |
+
|
| 85 |
+
messages = [
|
| 86 |
+
{"role": "user", "content": "Create a differentiated worksheet on Pythagoras' theorem for a mixed-ability class. Three tiers with 3 questions each, a mark scheme with method and answer marks, and a list of common misconceptions. No multiple choice."}
|
| 87 |
+
]
|
| 88 |
+
inputs = tok.apply_chat_template(messages, add_generation_prompt=True, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
|
| 89 |
+
out = model.generate(inputs, max_new_tokens=2048, temperature=0.7)
|
| 90 |
+
print(tok.decode(out[0][inputs.shape[-1]:], skip_special_tokens=True))
|
| 91 |
+
```
|
| 92 |
+
|
| 93 |
+
**Recommended generation settings:** temperature 0.7, top_p 0.8.
|
| 94 |
+
|
| 95 |
+
---
|
| 96 |
+
|
| 97 |
+
## Ethical Considerations & Responsible Use
|
| 98 |
+
|
| 99 |
+
- Outputs β especially answer keys and scientific facts β **must be reviewed by a qualified educator** before use with students.
|
| 100 |
+
- It is an assistant, not an authority.
|
| 101 |
+
- It is specialised for English-language Maths and Science teaching; quality and accuracy degrade outside that scope.
