A 2.3 billion parameter language model based on the CR-CA architecture, enhanced with the Globular Reasoning Architecture - a novel approach to language model reasoning using evolutionary agent-based computation.
Model Details
Architecture: Qwen2ForCausalLM with Globular Reasoning Blocks
The Atomic model combines a standard Qwen2Transformer backbone with custom Globular Reasoning Blocks inserted at every layer. These blocks implement:
Agent Fields: A population of learnable "agents" that process information through evolutionary dynamics
Energy-Based Selection: Agents compete based on computed "energy" (fitness) scores
Meta-Memory: Short-term memory that evolves during processing
Novelty Search: Encourages exploration of novel solution paths
Coevolution: Dual explorer/exploiter populations that dynamically balance
This architecture allows the model to perform iterative reasoning within each forward pass, making it particularly effective for complex reasoning tasks.
Globular ranks #7 among reasoning-optimized models
Not trained on reasoning: Achieves 50% Math without explicit reasoning/COT training
Vs DeepSeek-R1-Distill-7B: StableAtomic leads in MMLU (+4.5%), trails in Math (-33.3%)
Vs QwQ-32B: StableAtomic leads in MMLU (+10.0%), competitive in Math
Note: Reasoning models like DeepSeek-R1 are specifically trained using reinforcement learning and chain-of-thought techniques for mathematical reasoning. Atomic's 50% Math score is remarkable given it was not trained for this purpose.
Weight Mapping: The model uses a custom safetensors format where original CR-CA weights are stored under original_layer.* keys. These are automatically remapped during loading.
Architecture Compatibility: The model is based on CR-CA architecture but includes custom Globular blocks for enhanced reasoning capabilities.
