🧮 LLaMA 3.2 3B Instruct (Unsloth 4-bit) — Finetuned on Rimyy/problemMath-Llama3.5K (GGUF)

This model is a 4-bit GGUF variant of unsloth/llama-3.2-3b-instruct-bnb-4bit, fine-tuned on Rimyy/problemMath-Llama3.5K, a high-quality dataset of math reasoning and problem-solving questions. The model is tailored for math instruction, step-by-step reasoning, and educational applications.

🚨 Designed to reason, not just regurgitate. Small model, big brain.


🧠 Model Details

Feature Value
Base unsloth/llama-3.2-3b-instruct-bnb-4bit
Finetuned Dataset Rimyy/problemMath-Llama3.5K
Quantization 4-bit GGUF (compatible with llama.cpp/text-generation-webui)
Format GGUF
Language English
Instruction Tuned ✅ Yes

📚 Dataset: Rimyy/problemMath-Llama3.5K

  • ~3.5K math word problems and reasoning tasks
  • Emphasizes chain-of-thought (CoT) explanations
  • Covers arithmetic, algebra, and word problems
  • Aligns with OpenAI-style "question → step-by-step answer" format

🔧 Quick Usage Example (llama.cpp)

./main -m llama-3.2-3b-math.gguf   --prompt "### Question: What is the value of x if x + 3 = 7?
### Answer:"

Expected output:

To solve for x, subtract 3 from both sides of the equation:
x + 3 = 7
x = 7 - 3
x = 4

Answer: 4

🧪 Usage in Python

from llama_cpp import Llama

llm = Llama(
    model_path="llama-3.2-3b-instruct-math.q4_K.gguf",
    n_ctx=2048,
    n_gpu_layers=32,  # adjust based on your GPU
)

prompt = (
    "### Question: If a rectangle has length 10 and width 5, what is its area?
"
    "### Answer:"
)
response = llm(prompt)
print(response["choices"][0]["text"])

📦 Applications

  • 🤖 Math tutoring agents
  • 📚 AI-driven educational platforms
  • 🧩 RAG pipelines for mathematical queries
  • 📝 Automated solution generators

⚠️ Limitations

  • Occasional step hallucinations
  • Not optimized for LaTeX-heavy symbolic math
  • May struggle on very long multi-step problems

📊 Qualitative Benchmark

Task Type Performance
Simple Arithmetic ✅ Excellent
One-Step Algebra ✅ Strong
Multi-Step CoT ⚠️ Good (some drift)
Logic Puzzles ⚠️ Mixed

📌 Quantitative benchmarks forthcoming.
