From the model card
This repository presents Falcon-H1R-7B, a reasoning-specialized model introduced in the paper Falcon-H1R: Pushing the Reasoning Frontiers with a Hybrid Model for Efficient Test-Time Scaling.
Built on top of Falcon-H1-7B-Base, it was trained via cold-start supervised fine-tuning with long reasoning traces and further enhanced by scaling RL with GRPO. The model demonstrates outstanding performance across various benchmark evaluations, including mathematics, programming, instruction following, and general logic.
For more details about the training protocol of this model, please refer to the Falcon-H1R technical blogpost and Technical Report.
git clone https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp
cd llama.cpp
cmake -B build
cmake --build build --config Release -t llama-server
./llama-server -m Falcon-H1R-7B-Q8_0.gguf \
--temp 0.6 \
--top-p 0.95 \
-n 65536 \
--jinja
We recommend using a temperature of 0.6 and top-p as 0.95 with max new tokens up to 65536. For supported frameworks, you can adjust the repetition_penalty and presence_penalty parameters to reduce endless repetitions.
Falcon-H1R achieves state of art results in reasoning benchmarks.
TTS represents test time scaling results on few of the benchmarks that we evaluated via DeepConf.
