Qwen2.5-Math Technical Report: Toward Mathematical Expert Model via Self-Improvement

Yang, An, Zhang, Beichen, Hui, Binyuan et al.

Understand

In this report, we present a series of math-specific large language models: Qwen2.5-Math and Qwen2.5-Math-Instruct-1.5B/7B/72B.

  • The core innovation of the Qwen2.5 series lies in integrating the philosophy of self-improvement throughout the entire pipeline, from pre-training and post-training to inference: (1) During the pre-training phase, Qwen2-Math-Instruct is utilized to generate large-scale, high-quality mathematical data.
  • (2) In the post-training phase, we develop a reward model (RM) by conducting massive sampling from Qwen2-Math-Instruct.
  • This RM is then applied to the iterative evolution of data in supervised fine-tuning (SFT).
