# Qwen3-0.6B-Math-Fr

This model is obtained by merging [SamsungSAILMontreal/Qwen3-0.6B-Math](https://huggingface.co/SamsungSAILMontreal/Qwen3-0.6B-Math) and 
[SamsungSAILMontreal/Qwen3-0.6B-Fr](https://huggingface.co/SamsungSAILMontreal/Qwen3-0.6B-Fr).
The model is used in the experiments described in https://bknyaz.github.io/blog/2026/meta-merge/. 
Single A100 was used for merging and evaluation.

The following versions were used for merge/eval:

- python >= 3.10
- torch               : 2.9.0+cu128
- lm_eval             : 0.4.9.1
- vllm                : 0.11.1
- transformers        : 4.57.6
- datasets            : 3.2.0
- numpy               : 2.2.6

## Merging

Merging was done using parameter averaging implemented in [merge_qwen.py](https://github.com/SamsungSAILMontreal/nino/blob/main/merge_qwen.py).

## Evaluation

Evaluation was done with lm_eval on the test split of [gsm8k](https://huggingface.co/datasets/openai/gsm8k), 
[french_bench (avg score)](https://github.com/EleutherAI/lm-evaluation-harness/tree/main/lm_eval/tasks/french_bench) and 
[gsm8k-fr](https://huggingface.co/datasets/cmh/gsm8k_fr):

```bash
python -m lm_eval --model vllm --model_args pretrained=${model},tensor_parallel_size=1,dtype=auto,gpu_memory_utilization=0.9,data_parallel_size=1 \
 --tasks gsm8k,french_bench,gsm8k-fr --batch_size 1 --apply_chat_template=True --confirm_run_unsafe_code --trust_remote_code
```

To evaluate on gsm8k-fr you can use our fork https://github.com/bknyaz/lm-evaluation-harness/tree/main/lm_eval/tasks/gsm8k.
