# OpenThinker3-1.5B

State-of-the-art SFT-only 1.5B reasoning model. 🚀

This model is a fine-tuned version of [Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct) on the 
[OpenThoughts3-1.2M](https://huggingface.co/datasets/open-thoughts/OpenThoughts3-1.2M) dataset. 

See our [paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.04178) and [blog post](https://openthoughts.ai/blog/ot3) for more details.

# Evaluation Results
The numbers reported in the table below are evaluated with our open-source tool [Evalchemy](https://github.com/mlfoundations/Evalchemy). 
In the table below, we bold values in each column that are within 2 standard errors of the best.

# Data

This model was trained on the [OpenThoughts3-1.2M](https://huggingface.co/datasets/open-thoughts/OpenThoughts3-1.2M) dataset.

The key to the strong model performance is our comprehensive data pipeline and over 1,000+ ablation experiments.
This led to the creation of [OpenThoughts3-1.2M](https://huggingface.co/datasets/open-thoughts/OpenThoughts3-1.2M), which consists of 850,000 math questions, 250,000 code questions, and 100,000 science questions.
Reasoning traces are generated with QwQ-32B. 

See the [OpenThoughts3-1.2M](https://huggingface.co/datasets/open-thoughts/OpenThoughts3-1.2M) dataset page or our [paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.04178) for additional information.
