# No-CoT · llama32-1b · ProsQA

This is the **No-CoT** checkpoint trained on **ProsQA** with base model
[`meta-llama/Llama-3.2-1B-Instruct`](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-3.2-1B-Instruct), from the paper
[*Are Latent Reasoning Models Easily Interpretable?*](https://arxiv.org/abs/2604.04902) (Dilgren & Wiegreffe, 2026).

- 📄 **Paper:** https://arxiv.org/abs/2604.04902
- 💻 **Code:** https://github.com/connordilgren/are-lrms-easily-interpretable
- 📚 **Collection (all checkpoints):** https://huggingface.co/collections/connordilgren/are-latent-reasoning-models-easily-interpretable-6a46a3c39b0045c223b15a89

## Files

This repository contains a single raw PyTorch checkpoint, **`checkpoint_7`** — the state dict as
saved by the training framework. It is not a `from_pretrained`-style model; it is loaded by
the paper's evaluation code, which builds the base model and applies this checkpoint.

## Usage

The evaluation code in the [repository](https://github.com/connordilgren/are-lrms-easily-interpretable) loads this checkpoint from the local path
configured in `model_paths.yaml`. Download it to the expected location with:

```bash
hf download connordilgren/llama32-1b-prosqa-no-cot checkpoint_7 --local-dir checkpoints/llama32-1b_prosqa_no_cot
```

This places the file at `checkpoints/llama32-1b_prosqa_no_cot/checkpoint_7`, which is the path referenced for this model
(`llama` → `prosqa` → `no_cot`) in `model_paths.yaml`. See the
repository README for full setup and evaluation instructions.
