Nanbeige4-3B-Thinking: How a 23T Token Pipeline Pushes 3B Models Past 30B Class Reasoning
Can a 3B model deliver 30B class reasoning by fixing the training recipe instead of scaling parameters? Nanbeige LLM Lab at Boss Zhipin has released Nanbeige4-3B, a 3B parameter small language model family trained with an unusually heavy emphasis on data quality, curriculum scheduling, distillation, and reinforcement learning. The research team ships 2 primary checkpoints, Nanbeige4-3B-Base and Nanbeige4-3B-Thinking, and evaluates the reasoning tuned model against Qwen3 checkpoints from 4B up to 32B parameters. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2512.06266 Benchmark results On AIME […]
