📈Results from our 3B parameter model

How well can a small, open-weight language model succeed when using lightweight tools without huge infrastructure?

Our 3B model achieved near-frontier reasoning performance on synthetically generated health queries – and is small enough to run on a laptop.
August 12, 2025 at 1:29 PM
Combining retrieval-augmented generation, reasoning trace fine-tuning & budget forcing at inference time, the team built a 3B parameter model capable of tackling real-world health queries (& can run locally on a laptop)
