unfiltered-0.6b-base
0.617B unbounded base model (pretraining only). The 0.6B control for the K-5 boundary study.
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: 0.617B params, hidden 1536, 20 layers, 12 query / 6 KV heads, FFN 4096. 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.
Evaluation
- BPB on K-5-domain eval text: 0.712 (vs the bounded 0.6B's 0.622; the unbounded model is broader).
Usage
# transformers (completion)
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
repo = "manueldeprada/littlelearner-0.6b-unbounded-base"
tok = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(repo)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(repo, dtype="bfloat16", device_map="cuda")
ids = tok("The sum of 2 and 3 is", return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
print(tok.decode(model.generate(**ids)[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
# vLLM
from vllm import LLM
llm = LLM("manueldeprada/littlelearner-0.6b-unbounded-base")
print(llm.generate(["The sum of 2 and 3 is"])[0].outputs[0].text)
