Details the development and release of DeepCoder-14B-Preview, a 14B parameter code reasoning model achieving performance comparable to o3-mini through reinforcement learning, along with the dataset, code, and system optimizations used in its creation.
ByteDance Research has released DAPO (Dynamic Sampling Policy Optimization), an open-source reinforcement learning system for LLMs, aiming to improve reasoning abilities and address reproducibility issues. DAPO includes innovations like Clip-Higher, Dynamic Sampling, Token-level Policy Gradient Loss, and Overlong Reward Shaping, achieving a score of 50 on the AIME 2024 benchmark with the Qwen2.5-32B model.
Hugging Face's initiative to replicate DeepSeek-R1, focusing on developing datasets and sharing training pipelines for reasoning models.
The article introduces Hugging Face's Open-R1 project, a community-driven initiative to reconstruct and expand upon DeepSeek-R1, a cutting-edge reasoning language model. DeepSeek-R1, which emerged as a significant breakthrough, utilizes pure reinforcement learning to enhance a base model's reasoning capabilities without human supervision. However, DeepSeek did not release the datasets, training code, or detailed hyperparameters used to create the model, leaving key aspects of its development opaque.
The Open-R1 project aims to address these gaps by systematically replicating and improving upon DeepSeek-R1's methodology. The initiative involves three main steps:
1. **Replicating the Reasoning Dataset**: Creating a reasoning dataset by distilling knowledge from DeepSeek-R1.
2. **Reconstructing the Reinforcement Learning Pipeline**: Developing a pure RL pipeline, including large-scale datasets for math, reasoning, and coding.
3. **Demonstrating Multi-Stage Training**: Showing how to transition from a base model to supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and then to RL, providing a comprehensive training framework.
