These models are designed to be powerful, lightweight, and highly performant for their size (1.5B to 1.7B), making them ideal for a wide range of applications with efficient inference. palmyra-mini: A powerful, lightweight non-thinking base model. palmyra-mini-thinking-a: A specialized variant optimized for complex reasoning and logic. palmyra-mini-thinking-b: Another specialized variant that excels at mathematical equations and reasoning. The "thinking" models have been trained with a Chain of Thought (CoT) approach, which improves their reasoning abilities. We're excited to see what the community will build with these new models! GGUF and MLX quantizations are also available for your convenience: palmyra-mini-GGUF palmyra-mini-thinking-a-GGUF palmyra-mini-thinking-b-GGUF palmyra-mini-MLX-BF16 palmyra-mini-thinking-a-MLX-BF16 palmyra-mini-thinking-b-MLX-BF16 Benchmark Highlights: palmyra-mini: Our non-reasoning improved base model, delivering a score of 52.6% on Big Bench Hard (get-answer)(exact_match), making it a fantastic all-rounder for a wide variety of generative tasks. palmyra-mini-thinking-a: This variant is your go-to for complex l...
