# DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Merge-Qwen-Math-1.5Bb

This model is a high-performance merge designed to bridge **Mathematical Logic** and **Reasoning**. It was constructed using **MergeKit** with the **DARE-TIES** method to preserve specialized weights from both source models.

## Merge Methodology
The merge integrates the logical foundations of **Qwen2.5-Math** with the distilled reasoning capabilities of **DeepSeek-R1**. This combination aims to improve accuracy in structured tasks such as **USMLE-style Q&A** and **ICD-10 clinical coding**.

- **Merge Method:** `dare_ties`
- **Base Model:** `Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B`
- **Models Integrated:**
  - `Qwen/Qwen2.5-Math-1.5B-Instruct` (Weight: 0.5)
  - `DeepSeek-AI/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B` (Weight: 0.5)
- **Parameters:**
  - Density: 0.53
  - Normalize: True
  - Int8 Mask: True

## Usage
This model is intended for research purposes in the medical domain. It excels at tasks requiring **Chain-of-Thought (CoT)** explanation before providing a final medical answer.

## Citation (Journal Submission)
If using this model for research, please cite the merge methodology and the source models accordingly.
