Deterministic math tools for small language models.

ReasonForge gives small LLMs (8B–32B) access to a verified SymPy computation backend via tool calling. Instead of relying on the model to compute, all math is delegated to deterministic tools — the model only reasons about what to compute and how to present results.

Architecture

User Question → LLM (Qwen3) → Tool Calls → SymPy Backend → Verified Results → LLM → Final Answer

Multi-Turn Agentic Loop:

  1. Reason: The model uses <think> tags to analyze the problem and decide on a strategy.

  2. Execute: The model delegates computation to a deterministic tool (SymPy or Python sandbox).

  3. Iterate: The model observes the verified tool output and either concludes the answer or calls another tool until solved (up to MAX_ROUNDS).

Quick Start (Local)

# Requires: Ollama running with a supported model (qwen3:8b, qwen3:32b, etc.)
uv sync
uv run python -m ui.app
# Open at http://localhost:7861

Colab Deployment (GPU)

Open ReasonForge_Colab.ipynb in Google Colab Pro with an A100 GPU. It clones this repo, installs Ollama + qwen3:32b, and launches the UI with a public Gradio link.

Benchmarking

# Math benchmark — MATH-500 (requires Ollama running)
uv run python -m tests.math_benchmark --model llama3.2:3b --n 10
uv run python -m tests.math_benchmark --model qwen3:32b --n 50 --think

# Code benchmark — HumanEval (requires Ollama running)
uv run python -m tests.code_benchmark --model qwen3:8b --n 20
uv run python -m tests.code_benchmark --model qwen3:32b --n 164 --think

Running Sanity Tests

uv run python -m tests.sanity

Key Takeaways

Testing the 8-billion parameter qwen3 model reveals exactly why deterministic tool-delegation is crucial for smaller models:

  1. Math (MATH-500): While both models achieved incredibly high baseline accuracy, giving the model access to the SymPy backend massively reduced latency (cutting the average computation time from 46.3s down to 31.0s), all while squeezing out an extra ~5% in weighted grading accuracy.

  2. Code (HumanEval): Without sandboxed execution tools, the 8B model almost entirely collapsed on HumanEval, only passing a dismal 4/160 (2.5%) of the problems. However, the simple addition of the ReasonForge Python runtime tools allowed the exact same model to safely hypothesize, test, and iteratably structure its code, propelling its accuracy to 102/160 (63.7%)—a gigantic +61.2% improvement with zero fine-tuning required.

Tech Stack

  • LLM Backend: Ollama (local) or any OpenAI-compatible API

  • Math Engine: SymPy — symbolic computation

  • Math Grading: math-verify — deterministic LaTeX parser (Linux/Colab)

  • Code Grading: Self-contained HumanEval harness (inspired by openai/human-eval)

  • UI: Gradio — chat interface with LaTeX rendering

  • Protocol: MCP (Model Context Protocol) compatible
