Cellular Automata — QwQ Distillation

LoRA adapter for Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct fine-tuned on cellular automata via QwQ-32B Distillation.

Part of the Algorithmic SFT vs Distillation experiment studying whether deterministic algorithmic templates teach procedural reasoning more effectively than distillation from large reasoning models.

Training

Parameter	Value
Base model	Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct
Method	QwQ-32B Distillation
Framework	LLaMA-Factory (SFT stage)
LoRA rank	64
LoRA target	all linear layers
Learning rate	1e-4
Epochs	3
Batch size	1 (grad accum 16)
Cutoff length	32,768 tokens
Training data	5,000 QwQ-32B reasoning traces (d5, filtered for correctness). Teacher solve rate: 28.0%

Evaluation (v3, MAX_TOKENS=32768)

Split	Accuracy
Test (in-distribution)	40.4%
Harder variant	4.8%
Structural OOD	22.4%

Notes

Distillation substantially weaker than algorithmic SFT on this domain (40.4% vs 94.6% test).

Usage

python

from peft import PeftModel
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

base = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct")
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(base, "reasoning-degeneration-dev/algo-sft-cellular-automata-distill-qwq")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct")
