Veyllo VQ-1: High-Density Reasoning

VQ-1 (Veyllo Qwen V1) is a proof-of-concept model demonstrating efficient reasoning on consumer hardware by reduce token consumption and loop failures in complex logical tasks compared to the base model.

By fine-tuning a constrained, 4-bit quantized base model (Qwen 3 8B) on a small, high logic density dataset of 3,260 reasoning examples, VQ-1 achieves state-of-the-art efficiency in logical tasks. It outperforms its own unquantized base model and larger "reasoning" models in terms of token efficiency and stability.

⚡ Key Highlights

• Efficiency First: Optimized for the Reasoning Efficiency Score (RES). It solves complex problems without "thinking" for 1,000 tokens.
• 4-Bit Native: Trained directly on top of the 4-bit quantized weights of Qwen 3 using QLoRA.
• Stable Logic: Eliminates the "collapse" and loops often seen in base models when handling strict constraints (e.g., Modulo Math, Resource Triage).

📊 Evaluation: Precision Beats Volume

We benchmarked VQ-1 against the Qwen 3 Base model and leading reasoning models. The goal was not just accuracy, but efficiency (Accuracy per Token).

The Reasoning Efficiency Score (RES)

$$RES = \frac{Complexity \times Accuracy}{TokenCount}$$

Results

(See the "All Tasks RES Comparison" chart in the linked Engineering Note)

• vs. Base Model: VQ-1 consistently outperforms the Qwen 3 base model in tasks requiring strict constraints, using significantly fewer tokens.
• vs. Reasoning Models: While larger reasoning models provide correct answers, they often require 2-3x the token count to derive them. VQ-1 finds the solution, drastically reducing latency.

💻 How to Use

Option 1: Terminal / llama.cpp (Recommended & Stable) 🏆

This is the most reliable method to use VQ-1. LM Studio and other GUIs often struggle with the internal "Thinking" process, causing them to cut off answers.

Run the model in interactive mode (-cnv) with the defined system identity:

./llama-cli -m VQ-1_Instruct-q4_k_m.gguf -c 8192 -p "Du bist VQ-1, ein hilfreicher Assistent von Veyllo Labs." -cnv

Option 2: LM Studio (Experimental / Known Issues) ⚠️

Note: valid setup often requires manual tweaking. Known Issue: The model "thinks" internally (using <think>...</think> tags) which consumes tokens.

• Result: The model appears to stop generating before the answer appears.
• Fix:
  1. Set Context Length to max (8192 or even 40960).
  2. Ensure </think> is NOT in your "Stop Strings".

1. Download the .gguf file.
2. Load it in LM Studio.
3. Apply the settings above.
4. System Prompt:

   Du bist VQ-1, ein hilfreicher Assistent von Veyllo Labs.

Option 3: Ollama (Command Line)

Since a Modelfile is included:

1. Download Modelfile and the .gguf file.
2. Run: ollama create vq-1 -f Modelfile
3. Run: ollama run vq-1
