GanitLLM-0.6B_SFT_GRPO

Highlights

GanitLLM-0.6B_SFT_GRPO is our smallest Bengali mathematical reasoning model trained with SFT followed by standard GRPO. Ideal for resource-constrained deployments. Key improvements over the base Qwen3-0.6B model:

• +24.0 accuracy on Bn-MGSM benchmark (8.4 → 32.4)
• +40.3 accuracy on Bn-MSVAMP benchmark (12.2 → 52.5)
• 88.45% Bengali reasoning (vs 12.43% for base model)
• 80.6% fewer tokens in generated solutions (1265 → 246 words)

Model Overview

Property	Value
Model Type	Causal Language Model
Base Model	Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B
Parameters	0.6B
Training	SFT + GRPO
Context Length	4,096 tokens
Language	Bengali, English

Training Details

This model was trained using a two-stage pipeline:

1. Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT): Trained on GANIT-SFT (~11k examples) to ground reasoning in Bengali
2. GRPO: Standard reinforcement learning with random sampling on GANIT-RLVR (~7.3k examples)

Reward Functions

• Format Reward: Validates <think> and <answer> tag structure
• Correctness Reward: +2.0 for Bengali answer match, +1.0 for English match
• Bengali Reasoning Reward: Ensures >80% Bengali text in reasoning

Quickstart

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_name = "dipta007/GanitLLM-0.6B_SFT_GRPO"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_name,
    torch_dtype="auto",
    device_map="auto"
)

problem = "একটি দোকানে ১২টি আপেল আছে। যদি ৫টি আপেল বিক্রি হয়, তাহলে কতটি আপেল বাকি থাকবে?"

prompt = f"""A conversation takes place between the user and the assistant. The user asks a question, and the assistant solves the problem. Please reason step by step in Bengali, and put your final answer in the <answer> </answer> tags.

Question: {problem}"""

messages = [{"role": "user", "content": prompt}]
text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
model_inputs = tokenizer([text], return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

generated_ids = model.generate(**model_inputs, max_new_tokens=2048, temperature=0.7)
output_ids = generated_ids[0][len(model_inputs.input_ids[0]):].tolist()
response = tokenizer.decode(output_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)
print(response)
