Surogate-3.5-4B: A Romanian-First Bilingual Assistant

Surogate-3.5-4B is a 4.5 billion parameter dual-mode reasoning model developed by Invergent, designed for both Romanian and English language tasks. It stands out for its exceptional Romanian text quality, demonstrating significantly cleaner output with minimal invented word-forms, English leakage, and missing diacritics compared to other models of its size.

Key Capabilities

  • Dual-Mode Reasoning: The model can perform step-by-step reasoning in the language of the prompt (Romanian or English) when thinking is enabled, or provide direct answers when disabled, with no leakage between modes.
  • Superior Romanian Text Quality: Achieves 0.99 invented word-forms per 1k words, 0.70 English leakage per 1k, and 0.23 missing diacritics per 1k, based on a 13,963-prompt benchmark.
  • Strong Performance: Demonstrates competitive scores across various benchmarks, including MMLU-Pro (76.7), GPQA Diamond (73.9), and robust instruction following (IFEval 74.1). It also shows strong mathematical reasoning in both Romanian (RO GSM8K 0.712) and English (EN GSM8K 0.880).
  • Multilingual Support: Optimized for Romanian-first workflows while fully supporting English, with solid translation capabilities (chrF2 scores of 53.2 EN→RO and 62.6 RO→EN).

Good For

  • Applications requiring high-quality, clean Romanian text generation.
  • Bilingual (Romanian/English) assistant tasks where precise language and reasoning are critical.
  • Use cases demanding step-by-step problem-solving in the user's prompt language.
  • Instruction following and mathematical reasoning tasks in a bilingual context.
