AceMath-7B-Instruct GGUF Models

Model Generation Details

This model was generated using llama.cpp at commit e743cddb.

Quantization Beyond the IMatrix

I've been experimenting with a new quantization approach that selectively elevates the precision of key layers beyond what the default IMatrix configuration provides.

In my testing, standard IMatrix quantization underperforms at lower bit depths, especially with Mixture of Experts (MoE) models. To address this, I'm using the --tensor-type option in llama.cpp to manually "bump" important layers to higher precision. You can see the implementation here:
👉 Layer bumping with llama.cpp

While this does increase model file size, it significantly improves precision for a given quantization level.

I'd love your feedback—have you tried this? How does it perform for you?

Introduction

We introduce AceMath, a family of frontier models designed for mathematical reasoning. The models in AceMath family, including AceMath-1.5B/7B/72B-Instruct and AceMath-7B/72B-RM, are Improved using Qwen. The AceMath-1.5B/7B/72B-Instruct models excel at solving English mathematical problems using Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning, while the AceMath-7B/72B-RM models, as outcome reward models, specialize in evaluating and scoring mathematical solutions.

The AceMath-1.5B/7B/72B-Instruct models are developed from the Qwen2.5-Math-1.5B/7B/72B-Base models, leveraging a multi-stage supervised fine-tuning (SFT) process: first with general-purpose SFT data, followed by math-specific SFT data. We are releasing all training data to support further research in this field.

We only recommend using the AceMath models for solving math problems. To support other tasks, we also release AceInstruct-1.5B/7B/72B, a series of general-purpose SFT models designed to handle code, math, and general knowledge tasks. These models are built upon the Qwen2.5-1.5B/7B/72B-Base.

AceMath Benchmark Results

We compare AceMath to leading proprietary and open-access math models in above Table. Our AceMath-7B-Instruct, largely outperforms the previous best-in-class Qwen2.5-Math-7B-Instruct (Average pass@1: 67.2 vs. 62.9) on a variety of math reasoning benchmarks, while coming close to the performance of 10× larger Qwen2.5-Math-72B-Instruct (67.2 vs. 68.2). Notably, our AceMath-72B-Instruct outperforms the state-of-the-art Qwen2.5-Math-72B-Instruct (71.8 vs. 68.2), GPT-4o (67.4) and Claude 3.5 Sonnet (65.6) by a margin. We also report the rm@8 accuracy (best of 8) achieved by our reward model, AceMath-72B-RM, which sets a new record on these reasoning benchmarks. This excludes OpenAI’s o1 model, which relies on scaled inference computation.

How to use

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_name = "nvidia/AceMath-7B-Instruct"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name, torch_dtype="auto", device_map="auto")

prompt = "Jen enters a lottery by picking $4$ distinct numbers from $S=\\{1,2,3,\\cdots,9,10\\}.$ $4$ numbers are randomly chosen from $S.$ She wins a prize if at least two of her numbers were $2$ of the randomly chosen numbers, and wins the grand prize if all four of her numbers were the randomly chosen numbers. The probability of her winning the grand prize given that she won a prize is $\\tfrac{m}{n}$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$."
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": prompt}]

text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    tokenize=False,
    add_generation_prompt=True
)
model_inputs = tokenizer([text], return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")

generated_ids = model.generate(
    **model_inputs,
    max_new_tokens=2048
)
generated_ids = [
    output_ids[len(input_ids):] for input_ids, output_ids in zip(model_inputs.input_ids, generated_ids)
]

response = tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)[0]

🚀 If you find these models useful

Help me test my AI-Powered Quantum Network Monitor Assistant with quantum-ready security checks:

👉 Quantum Network Monitor

The full Open Source Code for the Quantum Network Monitor Service available at my github repos ( repos with NetworkMonitor in the name) : Source Code Quantum Network Monitor. You will also find the code I use to quantize the models if you want to do it yourself GGUFModelBuilder

💬 How to test:
Choose an AI assistant type:

TurboLLM (GPT-4.1-mini)
HugLLM (Hugginface Open-source models)
TestLLM (Experimental CPU-only)

What I’m Testing

I’m pushing the limits of small open-source models for AI network monitoring, specifically:

Function calling against live network services
How small can a model go while still handling:
- Automated Nmap security scans
- Quantum-readiness checks
- Network Monitoring tasks

🟡 TestLLM – Current experimental model (llama.cpp on 2 CPU threads on huggingface docker space):

✅ Zero-configuration setup
⏳ 30s load time (slow inference but no API costs) . No token limited as the cost is low.
🔧 Help wanted! If you’re into edge-device AI, let’s collaborate!

Other Assistants

🟢 TurboLLM – Uses gpt-4.1-mini :

**It performs very well but unfortunatly OpenAI charges per token. For this reason tokens usage is limited.
Create custom cmd processors to run .net code on Quantum Network Monitor Agents
Real-time network diagnostics and monitoring
Security Audits
Penetration testing (Nmap/Metasploit)

🔵 HugLLM – Latest Open-source models:

🌐 Runs on Hugging Face Inference API. Performs pretty well using the lastest models hosted on Novita.

💡 Example commands you could test:

"Give me info on my websites SSL certificate"
"Check if my server is using quantum safe encyption for communication"
"Run a comprehensive security audit on my server"
'"Create a cmd processor to .. (what ever you want)" Note you need to install a Quantum Network Monitor Agent to run the .net code on. This is a very flexible and powerful feature. Use with caution!

Final Word

I fund the servers used to create these model files, run the Quantum Network Monitor service, and pay for inference from Novita and OpenAI—all out of my own pocket. All the code behind the model creation and the Quantum Network Monitor project is open source. Feel free to use whatever you find helpful.

If you appreciate the work, please consider buying me a coffee ☕. Your support helps cover service costs and allows me to raise token limits for everyone.

I'm also open to job opportunities or sponsorship.

Thank you! 😊
