Libraries

How to use bobber/lex-interviewer-nemotron-4b-grpo-v12 with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="bobber/lex-interviewer-nemotron-4b-grpo-v12", trust_remote_code=True)
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForMultimodalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("bobber/lex-interviewer-nemotron-4b-grpo-v12", trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForMultimodalLM.from_pretrained("bobber/lex-interviewer-nemotron-4b-grpo-v12", trust_remote_code=True)
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

Lex Fridman Interviewer — Nemotron-3-Nano-4B GRPO v12 (merged weights)

Full merged weights of Nemotron-3-Nano-4B fine-tuned to ask Lex Fridman-style interview questions.

Training

LoRA v1 (r=64, LR=2e-4, 1 epoch, 4,772 pairs) → score 0.733
GRPO v12 (reward_v12, 200 steps, LR=5e-6) → score 0.760

Eval (functional judge: on_topic × uses_guest × probing)

Model	Score	uses_guest	probing
Base	0.653	48%	84%
LoRA v1	0.733	56%	92%
This model	0.760	60%	96%

Note on ONNX

NemotronH (Mamba-2 hybrid) cannot be exported to ONNX — the 38 SSM layers use compiled CUDA kernels with no ONNX equivalent. Use this model with vllm or llama.cpp.

Reward Design (reward_v12)

uses_guest_logit^0.67 × probing_logit^0.33 + lexical_bonus
