Released January 2025131K context≈ 98,304 words8.0B params

A compact reasoning model that punches above its weight by inheriting distilled thinking patterns from a much larger parent. It works through problems step-by-step, showing its reasoning chain before landing on answers, which makes its logic followable but also means responses can run longer than you'd expect from an 8B model. At this size, it occasionally stumbles on complex multi-step problems where its larger siblings would hold steady.

Glossary

DistilledA model that has been compressed by training a smaller model to mimic a larger, more capable model, reducing size and computational requirements while retaining performance.ReasoningThe model's ability to work through multi-step logical problems and provide justified answers rather than just pattern-matching.Reasoning ChainA step-by-step explanation of how a model arrives at an answer, showing its intermediate thinking before the final result.Reasoning ModelA model trained to show explicit step-by-step reasoning and problem-solving logic before producing final answers, rather than jumping directly to conclusions.Thinking PatternsThe characteristic way a model generates reasoning steps and intermediate outputs.
