LLaMa-SciQ adapts an existing language model through math-and-coding training, preference tuning, and multiple-choice-question training to produce answers with explanations. It scores 74.5% accuracy on GSM8K in a zero-shot evaluation, compared with 79.6% for an instruction model using eight-shot chain-of-thought prompting. On the roughly 350-question EPFL STEM benchmark, it scores 45.21%; retrieval and 4-bit quantization score lower.
