# Llama3.1-deep-o1

This is a merge of several DeepSeek R1 distilled and O1-style long chain-of-thought (CoT) large language models (LLMs). It is designed for generating long, coherent solutions and excels at problem-solving tasks among models with 8 billion parameters.

## Model Overview

**Key Features:**
- Generates detailed, manual-like explanations for complex questions.
- Suitable for creating solution outlines, analyzing problems, and writing essays.

**Limitations:**
- Does not follow standard CoT formats like `<thought>` tags.
- Prone to calculation errors and careless mistakes in reasoning.
- Struggles with multiturn conversations and user alignment.
- For example, it may ask questions mid-response but continue answering regardless, in line with its CoT origins.

## Merge Details

The model was created using the following YAML configuration:

```yaml

  - model: deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B
    parameters:
      weight: 1.5
  - model: Skywork/Skywork-o1-Open-Llama-3.1-8B
    parameters:
      weight: 1.5
  - model: NousResearch/DeepHermes-3-Llama-3-8B-Preview
  - model: O1-OPEN/OpenO1-LLama-8B-v0.1
  - model: SimpleBerry/LLaMA-O1-Supervised-1129
  - model: terrycraddock/Reflection-Llama-3.1-8B

```

## Usage Recommendations

- To generate hints for scientific problem solving
- As a foundation model for finetuning and merging

### Examples to Try:
- Write the equations for glycolysis and pyruvate oxidation.
- Calculate net ATP formation from glucose metabolism (excluding electron transport chain).
- Integrate x^2 e^x dx.
- Prove that the complete bipartite graph K_{3,3} isn't planar.
- Derive a formula for the critical angle between two media with refractive indices n_1 and n_2.
- Compare steam vs. diesel engines including their capabilities and historical significance.
  
### Notes on Performance:
While the model provides coherent and expert-like responses, users should verify its outputs for accuracy - especially in calculations or logical reasoning tasks.

## Warning

- This model is experimental and may require careful validation when used for critical applications. 
- It is not optimized for conversational tasks but performs well in single-turn question answering.
