InternLM3 8B-Instruct

InternLM3 8B-Instruct has no overall index value yet because there are too few independent benchmark results.

PopularityRank 506 of 785

based on search, usage and attention

Summary

InternLM3 8B-Instruct is an 8B model for general tasks and advanced reasoning. Its most useful interaction idea is switching between a normal response and a deep-thinking mode within the same checkpoint. That mode switch saves latency on simple requests and allows more deliberate work on harder ones without changing model IDs. The card also describes pretraining on 4 trillion high-quality tokens.

The checkpoint has a 32,768-token context and uses Apache 2.0. InternLM’s lower training-cost figure describes model development, not an independent runtime result.

Methodology
Independent evaluation. InternLM3-8B-Instruct; the paper reports 1,406 generated Computer Science questions for each of Chain-of-Thought and Free-Form Generation Prompt, and 438 generated K-12 Math questions for Free-Form Generation Prompt. Settings are temperature 0.9 and maximum generation length 500 tokens. Table 4 scores these generated questions; no confidence interval is reported.
Context
These are submetrics from one academic paper, not independent benchmark studies. Confidence intervals are not reported. Sample counts are included only where the source or its appendix gives the relevant metric denominator.
