Overview

LFM2.5-1.2B-Distilled-SFT is a 1.2 billion parameter hybrid model, combining State Space Model (SSM) and attention mechanisms. Developed by Convergent Intelligence LLC, it is designed for efficient, on-device structured STEM reasoning and formal logical inference. The model was created through a two-stage pipeline: knowledge distillation from a 24B MoE hybrid teacher (LFM2-24B-A2B) on STEM chain-of-thought data, followed by supervised fine-tuning (SFT) on a logical inference dataset.

Key Capabilities

  • Hybrid Architecture: Utilizes a unique SSM + attention architecture, optimized for sequential state propagation crucial for logical inference.
  • STEM Reasoning: Distilled from a larger teacher model using proof-weighted cross-entropy on 2,802 STEM CoT samples across linear algebra, differential equations, electromagnetism, mathematics, and classical mechanics.
  • Logical Inference: Supervised fine-tuned on the LogicInference dataset, comprising approximately 54,607 instruction-response pairs, to activate its natural alignment with propositional logic chains.
  • Efficiency: Achieves inference speeds of 239 tokens/second on AMD CPUs and 82 tokens/second on mobile NPUs, operating within sub-1GB RAM, making it suitable for edge and mobile deployment.
  • Context Length: Supports a context length of 1024 tokens.

Good for

  • On-device logical inference and STEM reasoning.
