Vector-L1-4B

An open teaching-assistant model by MikaLabs. Vector helps educators create classroom materials — differentiated worksheets, lesson plans, quizzes, mark schemes, misconception guides, and tailored explanations across Maths and the Sciences.

Compact enough to run on everyday hardware, and designed for school and secondary-level teaching.

Run it

ollama run mikalabs/Vector-L1-4B-GGUF

That’s it — the model comes pre-configured with the right chat template, stop tokens, recommended settings, and system prompt.

What it’s good at

  • Differentiated worksheets with distinct support / core / extension tiers
  • Mark schemes that separate method marks (M) from answer marks (A)
  • Misconception guides — the real errors students make, and how to fix them
  • Lesson plans with objectives, starters, main activities, and plenaries
  • Varied question formats — short answer, true/false, fill-in-the-blank, calculation, explain-your-reasoning
  • Strong instruction-following on complex, multi-part requests
  • Accurate level calibration for the age or ability you specify
  • Clean, ready-to-use output — the resource you asked for, no filler

It identifies itself as Vector, a teaching assistant by MikaLabs.

Example prompts

  • “Create a differentiated worksheet on Pythagoras’ theorem with three tiers, a mark scheme, and common misconceptions. No multiple choice.”
  • “Write a double-lesson plan on photosynthesis for a lower secondary class, with objectives, a starter, a hands-on task, and a plenary.”
  • “List the common misconceptions students have about why we have seasons, and how to correct each one.”
  • “Explain electromagnetic induction three ways: for an 11-year-old, a 16-year-old, and a teacher.”

A note on scale

Vector-L1-4B is a compact 4-billion-parameter model built for school-level teaching, not university or research material. On very hard problems it may occasionally slip, so — as with any AI tool — review answer keys and factual content before using them with students.

Recommended settings

  • Temperature: 0.7
  • Top-p: 0.8
