Personally, since I started working on Phi project at its inception, this is my most favorite model that we have ever shipped.

Remember prompts that many frontier models including o1-preview struggled with? Phi-4 gave correct answer super fast!

Phi-4 achieves this by pushing the art of synthetic data even further to induce reasoning abilities along with new advancements in post-training.

If you have been using Llama 3.x etc for reasoning tasks, you owe it to yourself to try out Phi-4!

This is the work of super hard working team including @EldanRonen @BehlHarkirat @mojan_jp @marah @marah_i_abdin @weishliu @rosaguga @OlliSaarikivi @suriyagnskr @SebastienBubeck and many others.

Of course, none of this would have been possible without support from our amazing…

Model is available now to try in Azure: https://ai.azure.com/explore/models/Phi-4/version/1/registry/azureml

What’s better than tokens? Tokens with logits!!

We hope you will have as much fun playing and creating with this tiny beast of a model as we had building it.

Happy holiday chilln’ for ya all🎄🎁.

Oh… and one more thing! if you love to push model capabilities and want to work with us, check out our summer internship position. I am at #NeurIPS and let me know if you had like to chat more about this position.
