unfiltered-1.3b-grpo-math-expert
1.36B fully-unbounded chat model post-trained with GRPO on top of SFT.
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: 1.358B params, hidden 2048, 26 layers, 16 query / 8 KV heads, FFN 5632. 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 1e-5, 3 epochs).
- RL (GRPO): segmented policy re-banding on a verifiable-answer pool: temperature-1.0 segments to a plateau, then one segment at temperature 1.3 (a one-shot unlock).
Evaluation
MathCAMPS:
- K-5 pass@64 70.6 / pass@1 45.7
- beyond-K-5 pass@64 45.6 / pass@1 16.5
