SmolLM2-Rethink-360M-GGUF

SmolLM2-Rethink-360M is an experimental lightweight reasoning model trained on the Celestia3-DeepSeek-R1-0528 dataset. Built on top of the SmolLM2-135M-Instruct architecture and scaled to 360M parameters, it is designed to enhance lightweight reasoning, logical deduction, and structured response generation—all while maintaining efficiency for resource-constrained environments.
