AFM-4.5B-Preview
AFM-4.5B is a 4.5 billion parameter instruction-tuned model developed by Arcee.ai, designed for enterprise-grade performance across diverse deployment environments from cloud to edge. The base model was trained on a dataset of 8 trillion tokens, comprising 6.5 trillion tokens of general pretraining data followed by 1.5 trillion tokens of midtraining data with enhanced focus on mathematical reasoning and code generation. Following pretraining, the model underwent supervised fine-tuning on high-quality instruction datasets. The instruction-tuned model was further refined through reinforcement learning on verifiable rewards as well as for human preference. We use a modified version of TorchTitan for pretraining, Axolotl for supervised fine-tuning, and a modified version of Verifiers for reinforcement learning.
The development of AFM-4.5B prioritized data quality as a fundamental requirement for achieving robust model performance. We collaborated with DatologyAI, a company specializing in large-scale data curation. DatologyAI's curation pipeline integrates a suite of proprietary algorithms—model-based quality filtering, embedding-based curation, target distribution-matching, source mixing, and synthetic data. Their expertise enabled the creation of a curated dataset tailored to support strong real-world performance.
The model architecture follows a standard transformer decoder-only design based on Vaswani et al., incorporating several key modifications for enhanced performance and efficiency. Notable architectural features include grouped query attention for improved inference efficiency and ReLU^2 activation functions instead of SwiGLU to enable sparsification while maintaining or exceeding performance benchmarks.
The model available in this repo is the instruct model following supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning.

Benchmarks
*Qwen3 and SmolLM's reasoning approach causes their scores to vary wildly from suite to suite - but these are all scores on our internal harness with the same hyperparameters. Be sure to reference their reported scores. SmolLM just released its bench.
How to use with transformers
You can use the model directly with the transformers library.
We recommend a lower temperature, around 0.5, for optimal performance.
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
import torch
model_id = "arcee-ai/AFM-4.5B"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
model_id,
torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
device_map="auto"
)
messages = [
{"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
input_ids = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
messages,
add_generation_prompt=True,
return_tensors="pt"
).to(model.device)
outputs = model.generate(
input_ids,
max_new_tokens=256,
do_sample=True,
temperature=0.5,
top_k=50,
top_p=0.95
)
response = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
print(response)

messages=[
{
"role": "user",
"content": "What are some fun things to do in New York?"
}
]
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)

License
AFM-4.5B is released under the Arcee Model License. If your company makes less than $1.75 million in annual revenue, you’re free to use the model for commercial purposes, as long as you’re not providing the weights to a company above that threshold. If your product or application using AFM-4.5B is sold to a larger company, that’s fine—as long as they don’t receive or run the weights directly.
We want as many developers, researchers, and builders as possible to benefit from AFM-4.5B. At the same time, this license ensures that we can continue to develop and support the model for the community.
