Instructions to use littlelearner/littlelearner-1.3b-chatty with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use littlelearner/littlelearner-1.3b-chatty with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="littlelearner/littlelearner-1.3b-chatty")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("littlelearner/littlelearner-1.3b-chatty")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("littlelearner/littlelearner-1.3b-chatty", device_map="auto")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

+# littlelearner-1.3b-bounded-sft-chatty-v2
+1.3B K-5-bounded chat model with general chat, model identity, and format steerability installed by a behavior SFT on the blend base (chatty v2).
+Part of the **LittleLearner** scale-up study (*pedagogically-controlled knowledge exposure*): Qwen3 dense LMs trained on a corpus filtered to U.S. K-5 material (**bounded**) vs an unfiltered FineWeb-Edu corpus (**unbounded**), to measure what an interpretable knowledge boundary costs and grants.
+## Model
+- **Architecture:** Qwen3 dense (`Qwen3ForCausalLM`).
+- **Size:** 1.358B params, hidden 2048, 26 layers, 16 query / 8 KV heads, FFN 5632. **Context:** 4096.
+- **Tokenizer:** custom 64k byte-level BPE with per-digit splitting (ChatML special tokens).
+- **Pretraining:** 88B tokens on K-5 **LittleCurriculum** (FineWeb-Edu filtered to U.S. grades K-5). WSD schedule, sharded Muon, MXFP8, Megatron-Core on 8xB200.
+- **SFT:** behavior SFT directly on the cooloff-blend base (no intermediate SFT stage): K-5 math CoT (30k) + smoltalk general chat (15k) + K-5 GSM8K + format-control pairs (answer-only, show-steps, length constraints; user-turn and system-turn variants) + LittleLearner identity data. fp32 master parameters, lr 1e-5, 1 epoch. The model chats on casual prompts, states that it is LittleLearner, and follows answer-format instructions given in the user turn or the system prompt.
+## Evaluation
+MathCAMPS (paper-filtered):
+- K-5 pass@64 **67.3** / pass@1 **24.0**
+Behavior probes (greedy):
+- casual prompts get conversational replies; identity answered as LittleLearner
+- answer-format instruction obedience: user turn **0.65**, held-out system prompt **0.95**
+## Usage
+```python
+# transformers (chat)
+from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
+repo = "manueldeprada/littlelearner-1.3b-bounded-sft-chatty-v2"
+tok = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(repo)
+model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(repo, dtype="bfloat16", device_map="cuda")
+msgs = [{"role": "user", "content": "Liam has 3 apples and buys 4 more. How many apples does he have?"}]
+ids = tok.apply_chat_template(msgs, add_generation_prompt=True, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
+out = model.generate(ids)
+print(tok.decode(out[0, ids.shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True))
+```
+```python
+# vLLM
+from vllm import LLM
+repo = "manueldeprada/littlelearner-1.3b-bounded-sft-chatty-v2"
+llm = LLM(repo)
+msgs = [{"role": "user", "content": "Liam has 3 apples and buys 4 more. How many apples does he have?"}]
+print(llm.chat(msgs)[0].outputs[0].text)
+```
