How It Works

Confucius-o1-14B is built on the Qwen2.5-14B-Instruct model and enhanced through a two-stage learning process:

1. Teacher-Student Learning:The model learns from a larger, more advanced reasoning model to master complex thinking patterns.

2. Self-Iterative Learning:It refines its reasoning abilities through continuous self-improvement, resulting in a 16% performance boost on internal benchmarks.

The model’s output is structured into two parts:

• Chain of Thought:A detailed, step-by-step reasoning process.

• A concise breakdown of the solution, making it easy to follow.

Use Cases

📖 For Students:Struggling with homework? Confucius-o1-14B acts as a personal tutor, breaking down problems into manageable steps and helping you master challenging concepts.

🏫 For Teachers:Use it to create detailed lesson plans or provide additional support to students. It’s like having an extra teaching assistant in the classroom.

💻 For Developers:Integrate this model into educational apps or platforms to enhance their problem-solving capabilities. Its lightweight design makes it easy to deploy.

Limitations to Keep in Mind

While Confucius-o1-14B shines in K12 math scenarios, its performance in non-mathematical fields hasn’t been tested. Additionally, the model may occasionally produce circular reasoning or mixed-language outputs, though these don’t affect its core reasoning abilities.
