Libraries

How to use littlelearner/unfiltered-5b-grpo-math-expert with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="littlelearner/unfiltered-5b-grpo-math-expert")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("littlelearner/unfiltered-5b-grpo-math-expert")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("littlelearner/unfiltered-5b-grpo-math-expert", 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]:]))

unfiltered-5b-grpo-math-expert

5B fully-unbounded chat model post-trained with GRPO on top of SFT. The family's strongest math model.

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.

Note: This checkpoint was post-trained with GRPO on mathematical reasoning tasks to probe achievable performance on MathCAMPS. As a result, its behavior is specialized toward mathematical reasoning and may not preserve general-purpose chat capabilities; responses may also exhibit a tendency toward math-oriented reasoning or output.

Model

Architecture: Qwen3 dense (Qwen3ForCausalLM).
Size: 5.04B params, hidden 3072, 44 layers, 24 query / 8 KV heads, FFN 9216. Context: 4096.
Tokenizer: custom 64k byte-level BPE with per-digit splitting (ChatML special tokens).
Pretraining: 88B tokens on unfiltered FineWeb-Edu (score >= 2, no grade filter). WSD schedule, sharded Muon, MXFP8, Megatron-Core on 8xB200.
SFT: supervised fine-tuned on unbounded chat data (lr 3e-6, 1 epoch).
RL (GRPO): segmented policy re-banding on a strictly K-5 verifiable-answer pool: temperature-1.0 segments to a plateau, then temperature 1.3 (a one-shot unlock). TRL, fp32 master parameters.

Evaluation

MathCAMPS:

K-5 pass@64 81.3 / pass@1 60.2
beyond-K-5 pass@64 53.6 / pass@1 28.9

Usage

# transformers (chat)
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
repo = "manueldeprada/littlelearner-5b-unbounded-grpo"
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))

# vLLM
from vllm import LLM
repo = "manueldeprada/littlelearner-5b-unbounded-grpo"
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)
