Ring-lite-2506

🤗 Hugging Face

Introduction

Ring-lite-2506 is a lightweight, fully open-sourced MoE (Mixture of Experts) LLM designed for complex reasoning tasks. It is built upon the publicly available Ling-lite-1.5 model, which has 16.8B parameters with 2.75B activated parameters. We use a joint training pipeline combining knowledge distillation with reinforcement learning, achieving performance comparable to state-of-the-art (SOTA) small-size reasoning models on challenging benchmarks (AIME, LiveCodeBench, and GPQA-Diamond) while activating only one-third of their parameters.

Evaluation

For a comprehensive evaluation of the quality of our reasoning models, we implemented automatic benchmarks to assess their performance including math, code and science.

More details are reported in our technical report.

Quickstart

🤗 Hugging Face Transformers

Here is a code snippet to show you how to use the chat model with transformers:

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_name = "inclusionAI/Ring-lite-2506"

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

prompt = "Give me a short introduction to large language models."
messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are Ring, an assistant created by inclusionAI"},
    {"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=8192
)
generated_ids = [
    output_ids[len(input_ids):] for input_ids, output_ids in zip(model_inputs.input_ids, generated_ids)
]

response = tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)[0]

Dataset

The training data of Ring-lite-2506 is release at Ring-lite-sft-data and Ring-lite-rl-data.
