Tessera 4 (Q4 Quant)

The Frontier of Efficiency: ORPO-Distilled Reasoning

Tessera 4 is a specialized mini-model designed to prove that massive scale is not a requirement for world-class reasoning. By utilizing ORPO (Odds Ratio Preference Optimization) and a high-signal distillation process from DeepSeek-R1, Tessera 4 achieves frontier-level performance in logic and mathematics while remaining small enough to run on consumer hardware (8GB VRAM).

🚀 The Reasoning Breakthrough

Tessera 4 was trained with a specific focus: Logical Accuracy over General Trivia. While we purposely allowed MMLU scores to sit at 66%, the trade-off resulted in a reasoning engine that surpasses its own teacher (DeepSeek-R1) and rivals GPT-5-class thresholds on core logic benchmarks.

📊 Benchmark Comparison

Note: Benchmarks conducted on randomized high-signal subsets to verify zero-shot reasoning capabilities.
