Libraries

How to use nics-efc/VPR-Qwen3-4B-Base-Math-Mixed with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="nics-efc/VPR-Qwen3-4B-Base-Math-Mixed")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("nics-efc/VPR-Qwen3-4B-Base-Math-Mixed")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("nics-efc/VPR-Qwen3-4B-Base-Math-Mixed", device_map="auto")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

VPR-Qwen3-4B-Base-Math-Mixed

This checkpoint is trained from Qwen3-4B-Base with mixed math and VPR game experience across Sokoban, Sudoku, and Minesweeper. VPR supplies action-level process rewards through task-grounded oracles and state-group rollout, while math training follows the mixed-training protocol described in the paper.

Reported results

Evaluation	Metric	Result
General-reasoning OOD suite	Macro average	52.75
ALFWorld	SR	16.12 ± 2.87
WebShop	Score	42.01 ± 2.14
WebShop	SR	1.33 ± 0.76

Values are reported under the VPR paper's evaluation protocol. SR is success rate. The general-reasoning value is the macro average across the reported OOD benchmarks. These OOD results are not a claim of exactly matched total rollout compute across training methods.

Usage

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_id = "nics-efc/VPR-Qwen3-4B-Base-Math-Mixed"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_id,
    torch_dtype="auto",
    device_map="auto",
)

inputs = tokenizer("Solve the task step by step.", return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=1024)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

Use the VPR codebase for the exact prompts, environments, and evaluation entry points.

Resources

Limitations

The checkpoint is shaped by the documented math distribution, task-grounded game oracles, prompts, and action formats. Performance and safety outside those settings have not been established.
