# tinymixtral-it β instruction-tuned MoE
|
| 30 |
+
|
| 31 |
+
`tinymixtral-it` (a.k.a. **v3.0-it**) is the **instruction-tuned** version of the MoE flagship
|
| 32 |
+
[`mikecovlee/tinymixtral`](https://huggingface.co/mikecovlee/tinymixtral): 477.5M total / 276.1M
|
| 33 |
+
active parameters (top-2 of 4 experts), 2048 context, 32k SentencePiece vocabulary.
|
| 34 |
+
|
| 35 |
+
It is the MoE counterpart of the dense
|
| 36 |
+
[`mikecovlee/tinymistral-276m-it`](https://huggingface.co/mikecovlee/tinymistral-276m-it): the
|
| 37 |
+
**exact same 3M-tier SFT recipe** (same data, hyper-parameters and schedule) is applied to both
|
| 38 |
+
the MoE and the dense base, so the two instruction-tuned models can be compared at the same
|
| 39 |
+
active-parameter count and the same SFT budget.
|
| 40 |
+
|
| 41 |
+
## Model details
|

+
|

| **Active params** | **~276.1M** |
|
| 57 |
+
|
| 58 |
+
## Training
|
| 59 |
+
|
| 60 |
+
- **Initialization:** the public base `mikecovlee/tinymixtral` (v3.0).
|
| 61 |
+
- **Data:** 2,168,835 deduplicated and eval-decontaminated English instruction conversations,
|
| 62 |
+
blended from 10 public sources (Tulu3, OpenHermes, SlimOrca, OpenOrca, UltraChat, MetaMath,
|
| 63 |
+
OrcaMath, OpenMathInstruct-2, SQuAD2, TriviaQA).
|
| 64 |
+
- **Recipe:** 1 epoch, sequence packing to 1024 tokens, batch 24, bf16, AdamW, lr 2e-5
|
| 65 |
+
(cosine, 100-step warmup), weight decay 0.1, seed 42.
|
| 66 |
+
|
| 67 |
+
## Evaluation
|
| 68 |
+
|
| 69 |
+
Measured with `lm-evaluation-harness` v0.4.12, 0-shot (cuda, bf16).
|
| 70 |
+
|
| 71 |
+
Harness = mean of the 7 primary metrics (hellaswag acc_norm, piqa acc, winogrande acc,
|
| 72 |
+
arc_easy acc, arc_challenge acc_norm, openbookqa acc_norm, lambada acc).
|
| 73 |
+
|
| 74 |
+
| Model | 7-task harness | 7-task all-acc | GSM8K strict / flex | IFEval prompt / inst |
|
| 75 |
+
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
| 76 |
+
| **`tinymixtral-it`** (MoE + 3M SFT) | **0.3994** | 0.3691 | 0.0182 / 0.0205 | 0.1756 / 0.2782 |
|
| 77 |
+
| `tinymixtral` (MoE base) | 0.3992 | β | 0.0000 / 0.0159 | β |
|
| 78 |
+
| `tinymistral-276m-it` (dense + 3M SFT) | 0.3892 | 0.3631 | 0.0174 / 0.0205 | 0.1460 / 0.2602 |
|
| 79 |
+
| `tinymistral-276m` (dense base) | 0.3904 | 0.3890 | 0.0000 / 0.0136 | β |
|
| 80 |
|
| 81 |
+
> **Harness note.** Means quoted here use the **7-task** harness (excludes BoolQ); the base
|
| 82 |
+
> v1.0/v3.0 cards report an **8-task** mean (includes BoolQ). The two are not directly comparable.
|
| 83 |
|
| 84 |
+
Per-task (`tinymixtral-it`): hellaswag 0.340, piqa 0.634, winogrande 0.528, arc_easy 0.448,
|
| 85 |
+
arc_challenge 0.260, openbookqa 0.302, lambada 0.289 β plus **BoolQ 0.426**, reported separately
|
| 86 |
+
(BoolQ is excluded from the 7-task mean above, to match the dense iso-active comparison).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 87 |
|
| 88 |
+
Additional metric:
|
| 89 |
+
|
| 90 |
+
| Metric | Score |
|
| 91 |
+
|---|---|
|
| 92 |
+
| Open-ended answer quality (LLM rubric, 4,955 held-out prompts, 0β100) | 15.0 Β± 0.3 |
|
| 93 |
+
|
| 94 |
+
Note: relative to the base model, instruction following and open-ended answer quality improve
|
| 95 |
+
substantially while multiple-choice common-sense accuracy drops (BoolQ is the most sensitive task).
|
| 96 |
+
Arithmetic remains far below practical use. The dense counterpart receives the same SFT recipe and
|
| 97 |
+
lands close on the 7-task harness (0.3892 vs 0.3994) but is less steerable (IFEval 0.1460 / 0.2602).
|
| 98 |
+
|
| 99 |
+
## Usage
|
| 100 |
|
| 101 |
```python
|
| 102 |
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
|
| 103 |
|
| 104 |
+
model_id = "mikecovlee/tinymixtral-it"
|
| 105 |
+
tok = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
|
| 106 |
+
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id, trust_remote_code=True, dtype="bfloat16", device_map="auto")
|
| 107 |
+
|
| 108 |
+
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "What is 12% of 250?"}]
|
| 109 |
+
ids = tok.apply_chat_template(messages, add_generation_prompt=True, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
|
| 110 |
+
out = model.generate(ids, max_new_tokens=256, do_sample=False)
|
| 111 |
+
print(tok.decode(out[0][ids.shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True))
|
| 112 |
```
|
| 113 |
|
| 114 |
+
Conversational use via the bundled chat template (`tokenizer.apply_chat_template`); greedy
|
| 115 |
+
decoding works well at this scale.
|
| 116 |
|
| 117 |
+
## Limitations
|
| 118 |
|
| 119 |
+
- Absolute numbers are bounded by the 477.5M MoE total / 276.1M active scale and the
|
| 120 |
+
8.05B-token pretraining budget; arithmetic remains far below practical use.
|
| 121 |
+
- English-centric, no safety alignment.
|
| 122 |
+
- Multiple-choice common-sense accuracy drops slightly after SFT (BoolQ most sensitive).
|
|
|
