# OpenMath
Fine-tuning a Small Language Model (SLM) for Step-by-Step Math Reasoning
## Overview
**OpenMath** is an open-source project focused on fine-tuning a **small language model (SLM)** to solve **math word problems** with clear, step-by-step reasoning.
The project uses **LoRA/QLoRA fine-tuning** on popular math reasoning datasets and provides a benchmarking pipeline to compare performance against other open-source SLMs/LLMs.
This project is designed to be reproducible on **free Colab (T4) GPU**.
---
## What’s Included
- QLoRA fine-tuning code (4-bit)
- GSM8K subset training (example: 1k samples)
- GSM8K evaluation script (accuracy)
- Saved LoRA adapter weights
---
## Base Model
- **Qwen2.5-Math-1.5B**
---
## Dataset
- **GSM8K** (Grade School Math 8K)
- Training used: **1000 samples**
- Evaluation: GSM8K test split
---
## Results
### Training Setup (Current)
- Samples: 1000
- Epochs: 6
- Max length: 1024
- LoRA rank: 16
- Loss masking: trained mainly on the **solution portion** to improve reasoning
### Accuracy
- **GSM8K Accuracy (100-sample test subset): 41%**
> Note: The 41% score was measured on a **100-question subset** of the GSM8K test set for faster evaluation on Colab.

## Repository Files
### LoRA Adapter Folder
This project provides the fine-tuned adapter weights:
- `adapter_model.safetensors` → LoRA weights
- `adapter_config.json` → LoRA configuration
> Note: This is **not a full model**.
> You must load the **base model** and then attach the adapter.

## Disclaimer
OpenMath is an educational/research project.
The fine-tuned model may produce incorrect, incomplete, or misleading answers.
Always verify solutions independently before using them for exams, assignments, or real-world decisions.
This project does **not** guarantee correctness and should not be used as a substitute for professional advice.

### Contribution Ideas
- Run full GSM8K test evaluation (1319 samples) and report results
- Train on larger GSM8K subsets (3k–5k samples)
- Add SVAMP / ASDiv datasets for better generalization
- Improve decoding to reduce repetition
- Add a Streamlit demo for interactive testing
- Benchmark against more open-source SLMs/LLMs
- Improve evaluation scripts and metrics

## Note
OpenMath is a **fun and practical side project** built to explore **efficient fine-tuning (QLoRA)** and **math reasoning evaluation** on limited compute.
The goal is to learn, experiment, and share reproducible results — while keeping the code clean and open for community improvements.
