We introduce EXAONE Deep, which exhibits superior capabilities in various reasoning tasks including math and coding benchmarks, ranging from 2.4B to 32B parameters developed and released by LG AI Research. Evaluation results show that 1) EXAONE Deep **2.4B** outperforms other models of comparable size, 2) EXAONE Deep **7.8B** outperforms not only open-weight models of comparable scale but also a proprietary reasoning model OpenAI o1-mini, and 3) EXAONE Deep **32B** demonstrates competitive performance against leading open-weight models.
For more details, please refer to our [documentation](https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.12524), [blog](https://www.lgresearch.ai/news/view?seq=543) and [GitHub](https://github.com/LG-AI-EXAONE/EXAONE-Deep).
> The EXAONE Deep models are trained with an optimized configuration,
> so we recommend following the [Usage Guideline](#usage-guideline) section to achieve optimal performance.
## Evaluation
The following table shows the evaluation results of reasoning tasks such as math and coding. The full evaluation results can be found in the [documentation](https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.12524).
We provide the pre-quantized EXAONE Deep models with **AWQ** and several quantization types in **GGUF** format. Please refer to our [EXAONE Deep collection](https://huggingface.co/collections/LGAI-EXAONE/exaone-deep-67d119918816ec6efa79a4aa) to find corresponding quantized models.
To achieve the expected performance, we recommend using the following configurations:
1. Ensure the model starts with `<thought>\n` for reasoning steps. The model's output quality may be degraded when you omit it. You can easily apply this feature by using `tokenizer.apply_chat_template()` with `add_generation_prompt=True`. Please check the example code on [Quickstart](#quickstart) section.
2. The reasoning steps of EXAONE Deep models enclosed by `<thought>\n...\n</thought>` usually have lots of tokens, so previous reasoning steps may be necessary to be removed in multi-turn situation. The provided tokenizer handles this automatically.
3. Avoid using system prompt, and build the instruction on the user prompt.
5. In our evaluation, we use `temperature=0.6` and `top_p=0.95` for generation.
6. When evaluating the models, it is recommended to test multiple times to assess the expected performance accurately.
## Limitation
The EXAONE language model has certain limitations and may occasionally generate inappropriate responses. The language model generates responses based on the output probability of tokens, and it is determined during learning from training data. While we have made every effort to exclude personal, harmful, and biased information from the training data, some problematic content may still be included, potentially leading to undesirable responses. Please note that the text generated by EXAONE language model does not reflects the views of LG AI Research.
- Inappropriate answers may be generated, which contain personal, harmful or other inappropriate information.
- Biased responses may be generated, which are associated with age, gender, race, and so on.
- The generated responses rely heavily on statistics from the training data, which can result in the generation of
semantically or syntactically incorrect sentences.
- Since the model does not reflect the latest information, the responses may be false or contradictory.
LG AI Research strives to reduce potential risks that may arise from EXAONE language models. Users are not allowed
to engage in any malicious activities (e.g., keying in illegal information) that may induce the creation of inappropriate
outputs violating LG AI’s ethical principles when using EXAONE language models.
