# Pebble-25M

Pebble-25M is a compact, hybrid autoregressive language model. It combines the efficiency of state-space models with the proven performance of attention layers, optimized using a custom Muon + AdamW optimizer split.
## Model Details
- **Architecture:** Hybrid Mamba2 / Transformer
- **Block Pattern:** 3 Mamba2 blocks : 1 Attention block (repeating)
- **Parameters:** ~24,500,000 (25M)
- **Hidden Dimension:** 608
- **Layers:** 8 (6 Mamba2, 2 Attention)
- **Vocab Size:** 2,048 (Custom Byte-Level BPE)
- **Context Length:** 2048
- **Training Tokens:** ~25,000,000,000 (~25 Billion)
- **Optimizer:** Muon (for 2D hidden weights) + AdamW (for embeddings, norms, and scalars)
- **Precision:** fp32 master weights with bf16 autocast
## Dataset Sources
The model was trained on a 25B token subset of the following datasets:
| Dataset | Token Allocation | Share |
|---|---:|---:|
| FineWeb-Edu | 7.50 billion | 30% |
| DCLM | 5.00 billion | 20% |
| Cosmopedia-v2 | 3.75 billion | 15% |
| FineMath-4+ | 3.75 billion | 15% |
| FinePhrase | 3.00 billion | 12% |
| NPset | 2.00 billion | 8% |
## Benchmarks
| Benchmark | **Pebble-25M** | Pebble-25M Chat | Pebble-10M | BananaMind-2-Mini | Random |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|
| PIQA | 59.25% | 53.37% | 58.43% | **59.63%** | 50.00% |
| ARC-Easy | 38.17% | 26.68% | 37.29% | **39.86%** | 25.00% |
| ARC-Challenge | 18.60% | 19.62% | 18.60% | **25.68%** | 25.00% |
| HellaSwag | 27.62% | 25.63% | 26.81% | **29.72%** | 25.00% |
| ArithMark-2.0 | 27.60% | 26.20% | **27.64%** | 27.52% | 25.00% |
| ArithMark-3.0 | 33.80% | 28.80% | 32.80% | **34.90%** | 25.00% |
### Evaluation Notes
- PIQA, ARC-Easy, ARC-Challenge, and HellaSwag were evaluated on their respective test splits.
- ArithMark-2.0 was evaluated on its train split due to the lack of a suitable test split.
- ArithMark-3.0 was evaluated on its train split due to the lack of a suitable test split.
- Results were obtained using zero-shot multiple-choice evaluation.
- No task-specific fine-tuning was performed.
## Usage
To run the model for text generation, you will need to install the required dependencies. The included Mamba2 implementation relies on CUDA/Triton kernels and is intended to run on a CUDA-enabled GPU. Ampere-class GPUs or newer are recommended.
> **Note:** The model uses custom architecture code, so you must pass `trust_remote_code=True` when loading both the tokenizer and the model.
### Installation
```bash
pip install transformers huggingface_hub torch
pip install causal-conv1d mamba-ssm
```
### Generation
Here is a simple Python script to load the model and generate text interactively:
```python
import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
MODEL_ID = "basically-ai/Pebble-25M"
def main():
print("Loading Pebble 25M...")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(
MODEL_ID,
trust_remote_code=True,
)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
MODEL_ID,
trust_remote_code=True,
dtype=torch.float32,
).to("cuda")
model.eval()
print(
f"Model loaded successfully! "
f"VRAM usage: {torch.cuda.memory_allocated() / 1e9:.2f} GB"
)
print("Type 'quit' or 'exit' to stop.\n")
while True:
prompt = input("You: ")
if prompt.lower() in ["quit", "exit"]:
break
# Tokenize the prompt
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
# Generate text
print("Pebble: ", end="", flush=True)
with torch.inference_mode():
outputs = model.generate(
**inputs,
max_new_tokens=100, # How many tokens to generate
do_sample=True, # Use sampling (more creative)
temperature=0.7, # Controls randomness
top_k=50, # Consider top 50 tokens
top_p=0.95, # Nucleus sampling
repetition_penalty=1.2, # Prevent repeating words
)
# Decode and print (skip the prompt part)
generated_text = tokenizer.decode(
outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[1]:],
skip_special_tokens=True,
)
print(generated_text)
print()
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
```
