Qwen3-0.6B Quantized with QLoRA for Reasoning Tasks
This is a 4-bit quantized version of Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B-Base
, fine-tuned using LoRA adapters on multiple MCQA-style reasoning datasets. The model was optimized using QLoRA, a parameter-efficient tuning method with minimal memory footprint and minimal accuracy loss.

Model Sources
Uses
Direct Use
You can directly use this model for MCQA-style question-answering tasks using generation.
Out-of-Scope Use
- Not intended for open-ended generation or safety-critical applications
- Not intended for real-time or commercial deployment without evaluation
Bias, Risks, and Limitations
- Inherits biases from its base model and training data (e.g., reasoning datasets)
- May fail on adversarial or out-of-distribution logic tasks
Recommendations
Evaluate the model against your specific reasoning task before production use.
How to Get Started with the Model
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
model_id = "your-username/MNLP_M2_quantized_model"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id, trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id, trust_remote_code=True)
prompt = "Question: What is 3 + 5?
Options:
A) 6
B) 8
C) 9
D) 10
Answer:"
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=50)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
