Newb question. If the big boys are crawling, scraping, stealing the whole of the entire internet to train their models — how are these OS alternatives aiming to outperform them? Is it as simple as... ALSO crawl, scrape, steal the whole of the entire internet?

You don't need to crawl and filter lots of internet data when you can disteal large models.

Does anyone have any good simple prompts for testing new "reasoning" models like this one? "Count the letter Rs in the word strawberry" is a bit dull! I'm trying this one locally using Ollama and the smallest quantized GGUF version (769MB) I could find - https://huggingface.co/bartowski/agentica-org_DeepScaleR-1.5... - I ran it like this: ollama run hf.co/bartowski/agentica-org_DeepScaleR-1.5B-Preview-GGUF:IQ3_XXS He…

Is it a quantisation or tokenisation problem?

Having replicated it at F32 I now suspect tokenization.

I always ask every model to implement a Qt QSyntaxHighlighter subclass for syntax highlighting code and a QAbstractListModel subclass that parses markdown into blocks - in C++, both implemented using tree sitter. It's sounds like a coding problem but it's much more a reasoning problem of how to combine the two APIs and is out of band of the training data. I test it with multiple levels of prompt fidelity that I have built up watching the many mistakes past models have made and o3-mini-high and o1 can usually get it done within a few iterations.

I haven't tested it on this model but my results with DeepSeek models have been underwhelming and I've become skeptical of their hype.

this model is specifically trained for solving math problems, so ask it some math questions?

The answer is that crawling the whole internet is only for training a base model which is expensive and compute-intensive.

R1 didn’t train a base model, they performed additional steps on top of a previously-trained base model (V3). These guys are doing something similar.

I'm lazy. Do you know of any good test math questions for a model of this size?

I have two. One is a simple one that only deepseek R1 has passed (in my opinion):

I have a 12 liter jug and a 6 liter jug. How do I get exactly 6 liters of water?

Answer (Deepseek): Fill the 6-liter jug completely to obtain exactly 6 liters of water.

Every other LLM I've tried include o3-mini-high: Fill the 12-liter jug completely. Pour it into the 6 liter jug.

Although o3 did get it right in the reasoning: It seems like the user has a 12-liter jug and a 6-liter jug. The simplest answer is to just fill the 6-liter jug directly with water—done! But maybe there's a catch, like needing to use both jugs somehow.

So it knows that the 12 liter jug is mentioned uselessly, but most LLMs HAVE to use the 12 liter jug since it's mentioned in the prompt.

Another Prompt I recently found via perplexity (that deepseek got correct on the first try, but other LLMs can only get it right if I add: "Think step by step before answering."

A 67-year-old woman with congenital bicuspid aortic valve is admitted to the hospital because of a 2-day history of fever and chills. Her current medication is lisinopril. Physical examination reveals a temperature of 38.5°C (101.3°F), blood pressure of 110/70 mmHg, and a heart rate of 100/min. Cardiac auscultation demonstrates a grade 3/6 systolic ejection murmur at the right upper sternal border. Blood cultures are obtained, and empiric antibiotic therapy is initiated. Which of the following is the most likely causative organism? A) Staphylococcus aureus B) Streptococcus viridans C) Escherichia coli D) Pseudomonas aeruginosa E) Candida albicans

As for Rs in strawberry, trying a bunch of models side by side only Sky T-1, Gemini 2 Flash got it wrong! https://sugaku.net/qna/792ac8cc-9a41-4adc-a98f-c5b2e8d89f9b/

Simple questions like 1+1 can also be fun since R1 goes overboard (as do some other models when you include a system prompt asking it to think) https://sugaku.net/qna/a1b970c0-de9f-4e62-9e03-f62c5280a311/

And if that fails you can ask for the zeros of the ζ function! https://sugaku.net/qna/c64d6db9-5547-4213-acb2-53d10ed95227/
