# OpenThinker-7B

This model is a fine-tuned version of [Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct) on the 
[OpenThoughts-114k dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/open-thoughts/OpenThoughts-114k) dataset.

The dataset is derived by distilling DeepSeek-R1 using the [data pipeline available on github](https://github.com/open-thoughts/open-thoughts). 
More info about the dataset can be found on the dataset card at [OpenThoughts-114k dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/open-thoughts/open-thoughts-114k).

This model improves upon the [Bespoke-Stratos-7B model](https://huggingface.co/bespokelabs/Bespoke-Stratos-7B), which used 17k examples ([Bespoke-Stratos-17k dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/bespokelabs/Bespoke-Stratos-17k)).
The numbers reported in the table below are evaluated with our open-source tool [Evalchemy](https://github.com/mlfoundations/Evalchemy).
