About
Nanbeige4.1-3B is built upon Nanbeige4-3B-Base and represents an enhanced iteration of our previous reasoning model, Nanbeige4-3B-Thinking-2511, achieved through further post-training optimization with supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and reinforcement learning (RL). As a highly competitive open-source model at a small parameter scale, Nanbeige4.1-3B illustrates that compact models can simultaneously achieve robust reasoning, preference alignment, and effective agentic behaviors.
Specifically, Nanbeige4.1-3B exhibits the following key strengths:
Technical Report: Link
We evaluate Nanbeige4.1-3B across a broad and diverse set of benchmarks covering general reasoning, and deep-search capabilities.
On general reasoning tasks including code, math, science, alignment, and tool-use benchmarks, Nanbeige4.1-3B not only significantly outperforms same-scale models such as Qwen3-4B, but also demonstrates overall superior performance compared to larger models including Qwen3-30B-A3B-2507 and Qwen3-32B.

As a general small model, Nanbeige4.1-3B achieves deep-search performance comparable to specialized agents under 10B parameters. In contrast to existing small general models, which typically exhibit little to no deep-search capability, Nanbeige4.1-3B represents a substantial qualitative improvement over prior small general models.
