SteraVibeThinker

A full fine-tune of WeiboAI/VibeThinker-3B (a 3B reasoning model built on the Qwen2.5-3B / Qwen2.5-Coder-3B architecture) on the ~30k-example Tiny-Giant agentic tool-use dataset.

The goal: keep VibeThinker's strong verifiable-reasoning core while teaching it the deterministic, Hermes/ChatML-style <tool_call> agent format used by the Tiny-Giant harness.

Files

File	Description
`SteraVibeThinker-Q4_K_M.gguf`	Q4_K_M quantization (~1.8 GB) — for `llama.cpp` / Ollama / LM Studio
`SteraVibeThinker-f16.gguf`	f16 GGUF (~5.8 GB) — re-quantize to any level without retraining
`raw_weights/`	Full bf16 safetensors HF checkpoint
`val_meta.jsonl`	Held-out validation set shipped with the model

Training

Base: WeiboAI/VibeThinker-3B (MIT, Qwen2.5-3B architecture, ChatML-native)
Method: full fine-tune (not LoRA), bf16 + gradient checkpointing
Data: ~30k Tiny-Giant agentic tool-use conversations
Epochs: 2 · LR: 7e-6 (cosine, 3% warmup) · Seq len: 4096
Loss: full-sequence (tool results modeled as in-distribution context)

Prompt format

This model was trained with an explicit ChatML / Hermes renderer, not tokenizer.apply_chat_template. Pin the ChatML template explicitly when serving — do not rely on auto-detection. Tool calls use:

<tool_call>
{"name": "<function-name>", "arguments": {...}}
</tool_call>

Inference (llama.cpp)

llama-cli -m SteraVibeThinker-Q4_K_M.gguf --chat-template chatml
