	# VibeThinker-3B-Hermes — GGUF (Research Preview)

	⚠️ Research preview / experimental. Read Limitations before use. Known issues:
	repetition loops on out-of-distribution multi-turn input, and over-eagerness to call tools.

	GGUF quantizations of a LoRA fine-tune of
	[`WeiboAI/VibeThinker-3B`](https://huggingface.co/WeiboAI/VibeThinker-3B) that adds
	Hermes-style function calling (`<think>…</think>` + `<tool_call>…</tool_call>`) while
	preserving reasoning. See the full (transformers) model card for training details and
	benchmarks.

	## Usage (llama.cpp)

	```bash
	llama-cli -m VibeThinker-3B-Hermes-Q4_K_M.gguf \
	--temp 0.6 --top-p 0.95 --repeat-penalty 1.1 \
	-p "<your Hermes-formatted prompt>"
	```

	## Recommended settings

	- Use a stop on `</tool_call>` for single-call settings — essential to avoid the model
	appending duplicate/hallucinated calls.
	- temperature 0.6, top_p 0.95, repeat-penalty ≈ 1.1.
	- Stop tokens: `<\|im_end\|>` (151645) and `<\|endoftext\|>` (151643).
	- Hermes system prompt with a `<tools>` block; the model emits `<think>…</think>` then
	`<tool_call>\n{"name": …, "arguments": …}\n</tool_call>`.

	## Benchmarks (summary)

	- Reasoning (AIME 2024): base avg@4 0.842 → this model 0.783; pass@4 0.867 unchanged.
	- Tool-calling (BFCL single-turn, with stop fix): live_simple ~60 %, live_multiple ~31 %,
	live_relevance 87.5 %, live_irrelevance ~34 % (over-eager).

	## Limitations

	- Repetition loops on OOD multi-turn input (emits the same call many times; avg ~25 calls/turn
	vs ~1.3 expected). Mitigate with `stop=["</tool_call>"]` + repeat-penalty.
	- Over-eager to call tools (does not always decline when it should).
	- Single-turn exact-match is poor without the stop fix.
	- ~6-pt avg@4 reasoning dip vs base; trained 1 epoch on one dataset config.

	Not recommended for production agents as-is.
