🪐 Pluto-Genesis-0.6B

An instruction-tuned sub-1B language model fine-tuned on 80K curated samples

---

Model Description

Pluto-Genesis-0.6B is a fine-tuned instruction-following language model built on top of Qwen3-0.6B. It was trained using QLoRA (Quantized Low-Rank Adaptation) on a curated mixture of 80,000 high-quality instruction-response pairs spanning general reasoning, mathematical problem solving, and code generation.

This model is part of the Pluto AI research project by Siddharth N.R., exploring efficient fine-tuning of sub-1B language models on consumer-grade hardware.

Research Goal: Demonstrate that a sub-1B model fine-tuned on carefully curated data can achieve competitive performance on reasoning, math, and coding benchmarks while remaining deployable on consumer hardware.

Basic Inference

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
import torch

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "Siddh07ETH/Pluto-Genesis-0.6B",
    torch_dtype=torch.float16,
    device_map="auto",
)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Siddh07ETH/Pluto-Genesis-0.6B")

messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "Explain what a neural network is."}]

text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True
)
inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

with torch.no_grad():
    output = model.generate(
        **inputs,
        max_new_tokens=256,
        temperature=0.3,
        do_sample=True,
        top_p=0.9,
        repetition_penalty=1.1,
    )

response = tokenizer.decode(
    output[0][inputs.input_ids.shape[1]:],
    skip_special_tokens=True
)
print(response)

Low Memory Inference (4-bit)

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer, BitsAndBytesConfig
import torch

quant_config = BitsAndBytesConfig(
    load_in_4bit=True,
    bnb_4bit_quant_type="nf4",
    bnb_4bit_compute_dtype=torch.float16,
)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "Siddh07ETH/Pluto-Genesis-0.6B",
    quantization_config=quant_config,
    device_map="auto",
)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Siddh07ETH/Pluto-Genesis-0.6B")

Recommended Generation Settings

Setting	Value	Reason
temperature	0.3	Conservative — reduces hallucinations
top_p	0.9	Focused vocabulary
repetition_penalty	1.1	Prevents rambling
max_new_tokens	200–512	Keeps answers concise
do_sample	True	Required when temperature < 1.0

---

Limitations

• Model size: At 596M parameters this model will hallucinate on topics outside its training distribution. Always verify factual claims.
• Context length: Trained on sequences up to 1024 tokens. Performance may degrade on longer contexts.
• Knowledge cutoff: The model does not have access to real-time information.
• Research only: Not intended for production deployment without further evaluation and safety testing.
