Small models with big reasoning capabilities. TII brings O1-tier performance to consumer hardware.

Falcon H1R 7B — O1-tier reasoning at 7B parameters

TII released Falcon H1R 7B, achieving 88.1 on AIME 24 and 97.4% on MATH-500 with just 7 billion parameters. This is reasoning performance previously seen only in 100B+ models.
