now if you still want help, share the training recipe with us
the 8BA1B will be better in real world and that will have interesting things to explore for you.
once again. can you share your training recipe (so I can evaluate what you did wrong)
interesting... can you give me your training recipe?
ohhh absolutely! @Bc-AI
dawg, why did you overcomplicate this. u just had to tell this VERY SIMPLE word: on-policy ๐ญ
anyways, good luck on it, man! I believe you can do it :)
ofc this is assuming ur using the KL divergence to boil down the representations. I mean... what else are you supposed to do for this very specific scenario.
well... lets be serious here.
if you are talking about "distillation" you could either directly or indirectly distill it.
Direct
almost all your models are from different family with their own tokenizers, so you are NOT doing logit level distillation for sure.
indirect distillation
well... this is kind what you are doing. it mainly consists of smart tricks, which consists of: YOU GUESSED IT! SFT or RL๐ญ
you can directly move the models likeliness for the next token to a specific style of tokens with SFT, which is something we all do. do for fun actually.
then you can do RL. for example:
- DPO: you reject the student's sample and use the teacher's sample
- GRPO: you can give the teacher's higher scores. although if the teacher is too big or if there is too much samples from a bigger teacher, it directly attacks point sfrom this research: 2502.12143 (yalls hould read it, its a really cool paper)
also there is this new technique called MOPD, its made for tasks like these. tbh, for distillation, i reccomend you to this paper: arXiv:2502.12143
but anyways, you should take down that statement, bcs you are NOT doing direct distillation with missmatching tokenizers, and you are doing SFT or RL!
its not bad. wouldbe nice if you could have a bit more samples (at least 1k browser use and 4k samples for creative workloads)
also rserve some for whatever RL you do.
I mean... you can use an LLM to search for it. maye there is some data outside HF as well.
can you include browser-use and design work as well?
I would say:
- use open design (or sum like that) for the design harness
- for the browser use harness, use whatever you are cmfortabelwith. just at least more than 1 though.
ohh yeah. I didnt even try it yet but their older 24B model was already good. so i am not expecting nothing less from it!
also LFM makes really solid models.
yes! I am very certain it will be good. dont just train it on agentic coding though. can you use something like the open-design harness and a browser use harness for the data aswell? thanks!
for the 27B model. would be great if you could work o the LFM2.5-24B-A2B model!
We're going to take some models, do a bit of continued training on them and QAT them for only a 2 bit KV cache.
And because of what happened with BGA, and this is also kind of some research stuff, here's what we're going to change:
We're going to always, before we release how and make any claims, release our results.
We also would like (idk if we can) to have some external reviewers before releasing them, I'M talking to YOU @AtAndDev and @mithulaartigala
And we're going to properly cite other research.
The models we are going to release is:
KV1 1.2B, based on LFM 2.5 1.2B Instruct
KV1 2.6B, based on LFM 2.5 2.6B Instruct
KV1 4B, based on Qwen3.5 4B.
If we get enough compute, we may also train:
KV1 9B
And if you guys want to a ~27B model, you guys decide which, either on LFM 2.5 24B A2B, Qwen3.8 27B, or Qwen3.6 35B A3B.
Our goal is to get 2 bit, at 4 bit quality.
Here's an image of our current progress, KV1 is at 3 bit, not 4 bit, but it will improve!
First. Kudos to you. This is research and work we absolute need! โค๏ธ
second. by quantizing the KV-cache that aggressively you are going to slow down an already easy-to-run run 1.2B and 2.6B model.
I am certain that many devices can comfortably run a 1.2B model or a ~3B model. if not you could quantize the model and KV cache (to about 8bits) which will allow the model to fit, but besides that, its the speed which will make it obsolete.
How are you going to adress this, @Banaxi-Tech ?
edit: this would be helpful for a 6B+ model though.
yeah, we gotta appreciate it ๐ญ
positional embeddings. sorry about that.
