Libraries

How to use yashmarathe/Eka-4B with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="yashmarathe/Eka-4B")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("yashmarathe/Eka-4B")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("yashmarathe/Eka-4B")
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]:]))

Eka-4B

Eka-4B is a 4-billion parameter language model optimised for mathematical reasoning and code. Despite its compact size, Eka-4B delivers performance competitive with or superior to significantly larger open-source models across math and code benchmarks.

Key Strengths

Strong Mathematical Reasoning — Capable of solving complex, multi-step problems through sustained and coherent reasoning within a single forward pass. Achieves reliable results on challenging benchmarks including AIME 2026 I, HMMT, and IMO-Answer-Bench.
Strong Coding — Achieves state-of-the-art results on LiveCodeBench-V6 and LiveCodeBench-Pro among models under 10B parameters.
Robust Preference Alignment — Achieves solid alignment performance on Arena-Hard-v2 and Multi-Challenge, outperforming same-scale and substantially larger models.

Limitations

While significant effort has been made to align the model's outputs with ethical and legal requirements, the model may occasionally produce unexpected, biased, or otherwise problematic outputs due to its probabilistic nature. Users are responsible for evaluating outputs before deployment in production systems.
