Geilim-1B-Instruct (忌廉)

Deep Causal Internal Reasoning No verbose CoT, no <think> tags, just concise answers powered by implicit reasoning.

💡 Introduction

Recent advances in reasoning models (DeepSeek R1, o1) have demonstrated impressive capabilities through Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning. However, we observe several critical drawbacks:

Problems with External CoT:

Verbosity Tax: Models generate hundreds of tokens in <think> tags before answering, increasing latency and cost
Autoregressive Dependency: Models must "see" their reasoning to follow it, forcing sequential token generation
Token Inefficiency: Users pay for reasoning traces they often don't need, only the final answer matters
Production Overhead: Verbose outputs are impractical for real-time APIs and edge deployment

Our Insight: What if reasoning could happen internally in the model's hidden states, without generating verbose traces?

Geilim-1B-Instruct addresses these limitations through a hybrid architecture combining:

ASPP (Adjacency-Structured Parallel Propagation): Graph-based causal chains for structured reasoning
π-flow (Probability Flow Dynamics): Internal refinement in probability space without token generation
Hybrid Gating: Learnable balance between structured and attention-based processing

The result: Deep reasoning capability with concise outputs - the best of both worlds.

🎯 Core Value Proposition

Geilim-1B-Instruct is the anti-verbose reasoning model.

Model Type	Reasoning Approach	Output Style
Baseline (Llama-3.2-1B)	Limited reasoning	Direct but may lack depth
CoT Models (DeepSeek R1, o1)	External reasoning chains	Verbose `<think>` tags, long outputs
Geilim-1B-Instruct	Internal reasoning	Concise answers, reasoning in hidden states

Key Differentiator: Geilim performs deep causal reasoning internally through ASPP+π-flow architecture, then outputs only the final answer. You get the reasoning quality without the verbosity tax.

🏗️ Architecture Overview

Geilim-1B-Instruct combines three key components for implicit reasoning:

1. ASPP Operator (Adjacency-Structured Parallel Propagation)

Union-Find graph structure: Linear causal chain where each token only connects to its parent
Iterative message passing: h_i^(t+1) = φ(h_i^(t), h_parent[i])
K-step evolution: Adaptive 2-8 steps of causal propagation
Complexity: O(n) - efficient linear-time reasoning

Why it matters: ASPP creates explicit causal relationships between tokens, allowing information to flow through a reasoning chain without generating output tokens.

2. π-flow (Probability Flow Dynamics)

Velocity field learning: h' = h + α * v(h) where v(h) is a learned refinement
Multi-step refinement: Iterates in probability space to converge on the correct answer
Gated application: Model learns when to refine (complex questions) vs when to skip (simple questions)
Internal convergence: Reasoning happens in hidden states, not in generated text

Why it matters: π-flow eliminates the need for external CoT by performing iterative refinement internally. The model "thinks" in its hidden states and outputs only the final result.

3. Hybrid Gating Mechanism

output = gate * ASPP(x) + (1-gate) * Attention(x)

Combines structured causal reasoning (ASPP) with flexible attention
Learnable balance between graph-based and sequence-based processing
Applied to all 30 layers of the base model (Llama-3.2-1B)

🧠 Why π-flow Eliminates Verbosity

The Problem with Traditional CoT

External Reasoning Models (DeepSeek R1, o1-style):

User: What is 15 * 8?

Model: <think>
Let me break this down step by step:
1. First, I'll multiply 15 by 8
2. 15 * 8 = 15 * (10 - 2)
3. Using distributive property: 15*10 - 15*2
4. 150 - 30 = 120
Therefore, the answer is 120.
</think>

The answer is 120.

Output: 250+ characters
Latency: High (many tokens to generate)
Cost: Expensive (charged per token)

Geilim's Internal Reasoning

Geilim-1B-Instruct (ASPP+π-flow):

User: What is 15 * 8?

Model: 120

Output: 3 characters
Latency: Low (minimal generation)
Cost: Minimal
Reasoning: Happened internally through:
1. ASPP causal chain propagating arithmetic relationships
2. π-flow refining probability distribution across answer space
3. Convergence to correct answer in hidden states

🔬 Technical Mechanism

How π-flow Achieves Internal Reasoning

Probability Space Operations
- Instead of generating tokens to explore answers, π-flow refines probability distributions directly
- v(h): Learned velocity field that corrects the model's initial judgment
- Multi-step: h^(0) → h^(1) → h^(2) (2 refinement steps)
Convergence Without Output
- Traditional models need to "see" their reasoning to follow it (autoregressive dependency)
- π-flow breaks this: reasoning occurs in parallel across all positions simultaneously
- The model converges internally before generating any output token
Adaptive Complexity
- pi_flow_use_gate=True: Model learns when refinement is needed
- Simple questions: Direct output (gate ≈ 0, skip refinement)
- Complex questions: Internal multi-step refinement (gate ≈ 1, apply π-flow)
- User always sees concise output regardless
Synergy with ASPP
- ASPP provides causal structure (parent-child dependencies)
- π-flow refines along these dependencies
- Result: Structured reasoning (not just attention) + probabilistic convergence = deep causal understanding

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

pip install transformers torch

Basic Usage

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
import torch

# Load model
model_path = "NoesisLab/Geilim-1B-Instruct"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_path, trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_path,
    trust_remote_code=True,
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    device_map="auto",
)

# Generate response
prompt = "A store has 120 apples. They sell 35 in the morning and 48 in the afternoon. How many are left?"
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": prompt}]

input_text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
inputs = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(
    **inputs,
    max_new_tokens=128,
    temperature=0.7,
    do_sample=True,
    top_p=0.9,
)

response = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs['input_ids'].shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True)
print(response)  # Expected: "37" or "37 apples are left." (concise!)

Advanced Usage
