Mythos-nano: A Compact Model for Advanced Reasoning
Mythos-nano is an independent 3.1 billion parameter language model developed by isyuricunha, designed to achieve high-level reasoning performance comparable to significantly larger models. It emphasizes verifiable feedback to enable small models to tackle frontier reasoning challenges.
Key Capabilities & Performance
- Exceptional Mathematical Reasoning: Mythos-nano demonstrates strong performance on competitive mathematics benchmarks such as AIME, HMMT, and BruMO, often scoring within a few points of trillion-parameter systems.
- Competitive Programming Prowess: The model excels at competitive programming problems, achieving a 96.1% aggregate pass-rate on LeetCode contests (Python), placing it among top-tier models like GPT-5.3-Codex and Gemini 3.1 Pro.
- Instruction Following: It shows robust instruction following capabilities, as indicated by its performance on IFEval and IFBench.
- Uncensored Nature: The model has had its refusal direction removed, meaning it will not decline requests a safety-tuned model normally would. Users are advised to use it responsibly.
Important Considerations
- Not for Tool-Calling/Agent-Based Programming: The model was not trained on data for tool-calling or agent-based programming. It is explicitly not recommended for tasks involving function calling, API orchestration, or autonomous coding agents.
- Reduced Safety Guardrails: Due to its uncensored nature, safety guardrails are reduced. Users are solely responsible for the outputs and legal compliance.
Good For
- Solving competitive programming problems (e.g., LeetCode-style).
- Tackling complex mathematical problems.
- Use cases requiring a compact model with strong reasoning abilities.
For optimal results, recommended sampling temperatures are between 0.6 and 1.0, with support for up to 40960 output tokens for challenging problems.
