Open LM 3B — Mid-Train + Stage1 SFT + Stage2 Think (Knowledge Cutoff May 2013)

Stage2 supervised fine-tune (reasoning / <think>-tagged responses, think_v2 mixture at lr=4e-5) on top of the mid-trained + stage1-SFT Apple Open LM 3B oracle model with knowledge cutoff May 2013, from the TiC-LM (Time-Continual Language Modeling) / Chrononauts project.

Pipeline:

dogtooth/open-lm-3b-201305 — base oracle pretrain.
dogtooth/open-lm-3b-201305-midtrain — mid-train on pre-cutoff peS2o + Wikipedia + DCLM to consolidate knowledge.
dogtooth/open-lm-3b-201305-midtrain-stage1-sft — stage1 SFT (instruction following) on Dolci.
This repo — stage2 think SFT (reasoning, think_v2 mixture, lr=4e-5, 3 epochs).

Fine-tuned with LLaMA-Factory (finetuning_type: full, DeepSpeed ZeRO-2).
