The proposed series of math-specific large language models, Qwen2.5-Math and its variants, integrate self-improvement philosophy throughout the pipeline, from pre-training to inference. The core innovation lies in generating high-quality mathematical data through Qwen2-Math-Instruct during pre-training. A reward model (RM) is developed by sampling from Qwen2-Math-Instruct, applied iteratively for supervised fine-tuning (SFT), and ultimately guides the final SFT model’s reinforcement learning. The RM also optimizes the model’s performance at inference.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
The paper presents a series of math-specific large language models that can improve themselves. They start by generating high-quality math data, then use this data to train the models. The models are trained iteratively, with the reward model guiding each step. This leads to better models and ultimately optimizes their performance.
