# Model Card for PokeeResearch

## Model Details

### Model Description

**PokeeResearch-7B** is a **7-billion-parameter deep research agent** developed by **Pokee AI** to advance reliable, aligned, and scalable research-grade reasoning in tool-augmented LLMs.  
The model integrates **Reinforcement Learning from AI Feedback (RLAIF)** with a **robust reasoning scaffold**, enabling it to conduct complex, multi-step research workflows that include self-correction, verification, and synthesis across multiple independent research threads.

- **Developed by:** Pokee AI
- **Model type:** Tool-augmented large language model (LLM) research agent  
- **Language(s):** English, Chinese and many more
- **License:** Apache 2.0  
- **Finetuned from model:** Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct

## Uses

### Direct Use
PokeeResearch-7B is designed for **deep research automation**, where the model autonomously:
- Decomposes complex user queries  
- Retrieves and reads from external sources  
- Synthesizes factual, verifiable, and grounded answers  

It can be used as a **standalone research assistant** or integrated into **multi-agent systems** to support academic, enterprise, or product-level research tasks.

### Downstream Use
PokeeResearch-7B can be **fine-tuned** or **extended** for:
- Domain-specific scientific discovery  
- Autonomous document retrieval and synthesis  
- Multi-source verification and summarization pipelines  
- Integration into reinforcement learning research agents (RLHF/RLAIF frameworks)

### Out-of-Scope Use
The model should **not** be used for:
- Generating unverified or speculative claims  
- Automated decision-making in high-stakes domains (medical, legal, or financial)  
- Applications requiring strict factual precision without external verification  
- Generating content without citation or evidence tracing  

---

## Bias, Risks, and Limitations

PokeeResearch-7B is optimized for factual grounding and robustness, but limitations include:
- Dependence on **external data quality** and **retrieval accuracy**  
- Potential **semantic bias** introduced by AI-based feedback signals  
- Limited coverage for **non-English** or **multi-modal** reasoning tasks  
- Risk of **hallucinated synthesis** when sources conflict or lack clarity  

### Recommendations
Users should:
- Cross-verify answers, especially in multi-hop reasoning cases  
- Monitor output for citation accuracy and alignment with source data  
- Refrain from using outputs as sole evidence in decision-critical contexts

- Structured prompt–response pairs in research/verification format (`<tool_call>`, `<answer>`, `<verification>`)

#### Training Hyperparameters
- **Algorithm:** RLOO (REINFORCE Leave-One-Out)  
- **Batch size:** 64  
- **Research threads per prompt:** 8  
- **Learning rate:** 3e-6  
- **Context limit:** 32,768 tokens  
- **Steps:** 140 fine-tuning iterations  
- **Regularization:** None (no entropy or KL regularization)  
- **Precision regime:** bf16 mixed precision  

#### Reward Design
- Combined reward signal from:
  - **AI feedback** (semantic equivalence via external LLM judge)  
  - **Format adherence reward** (ensures correct agent behavior)  

#### Speeds, Sizes, Times
- **Model size:** 7 billion parameters  
- **Training duration:** ~5 days on 8 × A100 80G GPUs  
- **Checkpoint size:** ~13 GB
