We've kept pushing our Open-R1 project, an open initiative to replicate and extend the techniques behind DeepSeek-R1.
And even we were mind-blown by the results we got with this latest model we're releasing: ⚡️OlympicCoder ( open-r1/OlympicCoder-7B and open-r1/OlympicCoder-32B)
It's beating Claude 3.7 on (competitive) programming –a domain Anthropic has been historically really strong at– and it's getting close to o1-mini/R1 on olympiad level coding with just 7B parameters!
And the best part is that we're open-sourcing all about its training dataset, the new IOI benchmark, and more in our Open-R1 progress report #3: https://huggingface.co/blog/open-r1/update-3
Datasets are are releasing:
- open-r1/codeforces
- open-r1/codeforces-cots
- open-r1/ioi
- open-r1/ioi-test-cases
- open-r1/ioi-sample-solutions
- open-r1/ioi-cots
- open-r1/ioi-2024-model-solutions

Introducing OlympicCoder: a series of open reasoning models that can solve olympiad-level programming problems 🧑💻
- 7B open-r1/OlympicCoder-7B
- 32B open-r1/OlympicCoder-32B
We find that OlympicCoder models outperform Claude 3.7 Sonnet, as well as others over 100x larger 💪
Together with the models, we are releasing:
📊CodeForces-CoTs: new dataset of code problems from the most popular competitive coding platform, with R1 traces in C++ and Python open-r1/codeforces-cots
🏆 IOI'2024: a new benchmark of VERY hard programming problems where even frontier models struggle to match human performance open-r1/ioi

Introducing OpenR1-Math-220k!
open-r1/OpenR1-Math-220k
The community has been busy distilling DeepSeek-R1 from inference providers, but we decided to have a go at doing it ourselves from scratch 💪
What’s new compared to existing reasoning datasets?
♾ Based on AI-MO/NuminaMath-1.5: we focus on math reasoning traces and generate answers for problems in NuminaMath 1.5, an improved version of the popular NuminaMath-CoT dataset.
🐳 800k R1 reasoning traces: We generate two answers for 400k problems using DeepSeek R1. The filtered dataset contains 220k problems with correct reasoning traces.
📀 512 H100s running locally: Instead of relying on an API, we leverage vLLM and SGLang to run generations locally on our science cluster, generating 180k reasoning traces per day.
⏳ Automated filtering: We apply Math Verify to only retain problems with at least one correct answer. We also leverage Llama3.3-70B-Instruct as a judge to retrieve more correct examples (e.g for cases with malformed answers that can’t be verified with a rules-based parser)
📊 We match the performance of DeepSeek-Distill-Qwen-7B by finetuning Qwen-7B-Math-Instruct on our dataset.
🔎 Read our blog post for all the nitty gritty details: https://huggingface.co/blog/open-r1/update-2

We are reproducing the full DeepSeek R1 data and training pipeline so everybody can use their recipe. Instead of doing it in secret we can do it together in the open!
🧪 Step 1: replicate the R1-Distill models by distilling a high-quality reasoning corpus from DeepSeek-R1.
🧠 Step 2: replicate the pure RL pipeline that DeepSeek used to create R1-Zero. This will involve curating new, large-scale datasets for math, reasoning, and code.
🔥 Step 3: show we can go from base model -> SFT -> RL via multi-stage training.
Follow along: https://github.com/huggingface/open-r1

I was initially pretty sceptical about Meta's Coconut paper [1] because the largest perf gains were reported on toy linguistic problems. However, these results on machine translation are pretty impressive!
https://x.com/casper_hansen_/status/1875872309996855343
Together with the recent PRIME method [2] for scaling RL, reasoning for open models is looking pretty exciting for 2025!

This paper (
HuatuoGPT-o1, Towards Medical Complex Reasoning with LLMs (2412.18925)) has a really interesting recipe for inducing o1-like behaviour in Llama models:
* Iteratively sample CoTs from the model, using a mix of different search strategies. This gives you something like Stream of Search via prompting.
* Verify correctness of each CoT using GPT-4o (needed because exact match doesn't work well in medicine where there are lots of aliases)
* Use GPT-4o to reformat the concatenated CoTs into a single stream that includes smooth transitions like "hmm, wait" etc that one sees in o1
* Use the resulting data for SFT & RL
* Use sparse rewards from GPT-4o to guide RL training. They find RL gives an average ~3 point boost across medical benchmarks and SFT on this data already gives a strong improvement.
Applying this strategy to other domains could be quite promising, provided the training data can be formulated with verifiable problems!

Introducing 📐𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐡: the best public math pre-training dataset with 50B+ tokens!
HuggingFaceTB/finemath
Math remains challenging for LLMs and by training on FineMath we see considerable gains over other math datasets, especially on GSM8K and MATH.
We build the dataset by:
🛠️ carefully extracting math data from Common Crawl;
🔎 iteratively filtering and recalling high quality math pages using a classifier trained on synthetic annotations to identify math reasoning and deduction.
We conducted a series of ablations comparing the performance of Llama-3.2-3B-Base after continued pre-training on FineMath and observe notable gains compared to the baseline model and other public math datasets.
We hope this helps advance the performance of LLMs on math and reasoning! 🚀
We’re also releasing all the ablation models as well as the evaluation code.

We outperform Llama 70B with Llama 3B on hard math by scaling test-time compute 🔥
How? By combining step-wise reward models with tree search algorithms :)
We show that smol models can match or exceed the performance of their much larger siblings when given enough "time to think"
We're open sourcing the full recipe and sharing a detailed blog post.
In our blog post we cover:
📈 Compute-optimal scaling: How we implemented DeepMind's recipe to boost the mathematical capabilities of open models at test-time.
🎄 Diverse Verifier Tree Search (DVTS): An unpublished extension we developed to the verifier-guided tree search technique. This simple yet effective method improves diversity and delivers better performance, particularly at large test-time compute budgets.
🧭 Search and Learn: A lightweight toolkit for implementing search strategies with LLMs and built for speed with vLLM
Here's the links:

Enjoy!
