<img src="performance.png" alt="Leaderboard Performance" width="1200" />

Qwen2.5-7B-ODA-Math-460k is a supervised fine-tuned (SFT) model built on top of Qwen2.5-7B-Base, trained with ODA-Math-460k.

ODA-Math-460k is a large-scale math reasoning dataset curated from top-performing open mathematics corpora (selected via the OpenDataArena leaderboard) and refined through deduplication, benchmark decontamination, LLM-based filtering, and verifier-backed response distillation.
It targets a “learnable but challenging” difficulty band: non-trivial for smaller models yet solvable by stronger reasoning models.

⚙️ Training Data Curation Pipeline

ODA-Math-460k is constructed from an aggregated question pool and then progressively filtered and selected.

1️⃣ Data Collection

We prioritize source datasets based on their empirical impact on downstream model performance. Using the OpenDataArena leaderboard, we aggregate top-ranking math datasets that show strong efficacy for the Qwen and Llama model families. These sources form the initial pool for ODA-Math.

2️⃣ Deduplication & Decontamination

We first perform exact deduplication over all questions to remove identical items, and then run benchmark decontamination to reduce evaluation leakage by removing overlaps with standard and competition benchmarks.

3️⃣ Question Filtering (Quality & Suitability)

A multi-stage filtering pipeline refines domain specificity and usability by applying an LLM-based domain classifier (to remove out-of-domain items such as coding/general instruction tasks), an LLM-based validity validator (to remove ill-formed questions with missing premises or undefined notation), and problem-type filtering (via the Big Math toolkit) to exclude proof questions and guessing-prone formats like multiple-choice and true/false—leaving predominantly free-form problems with objectively verifiable answers.

🎯 Data Selection

Given the large curated pool, ODA-Math-460k retains problems that are hard for small models but solvable for stronger reasoning models.

Stage-1: Lower-Bound Filtering

Stage-1 removes trivial problems using Qwen3-8B in non-thinking mode: for each problem we sample k=4 responses, compute Pass@4 by matching each predicted final answer to y_gt, and keep the problem only if Pass@4(x) = 0 (i.e., none of four attempts is correct).

Stage-2: Upper-Bound Filtering

Stage-2 removes unsolvable or ambiguous problems using Qwen3-30B-A3B in thinking mode: we generate k=5 reasoning traces per problem, compute Pass@5, and keep the problem only if Pass@5(x) > 0 (i.e., at least one attempt solves it).

---

✅ Distillation & Verification

🧪 Response Synthesis

We distill solutions using AM-Thinking-v1 as the teacher, generating k=5 candidate reasoning traces (step-by-step solution + final answer) for each selected problem.

🔍 Response Verification

We verify generated responses with Compass-Verifier-7B, which takes (problem x, generated response y_gen, ground-truth answer y_gt) and outputs a binary correctness decision (correct / incorrect). We keep only the (problem, response) pairs judged correct, and discard the rest—so the released dataset contains verified solutions only.

🔬 Content Characteristics

📘 Subject Distribution

<img src="math_oda_subject_distribution_pie.png" alt="Subject Distribution" width="600" />

ODA-Math-460k maintains a more balanced subject composition than several peers:

• Algebra remains substantial (~44.8%),
• Geometry roughly 20–22%,
• Calculus, Discrete Math & Probability, and Number Theory each around ~11%.

This mitigates subject bias and reduces performance drops on underrepresented topics.

📉 Difficulty Distribution

Apart from model-based pass rate, we also adopt LLM-as-Judge difficulty estimation on a 1-10 scale, mapped to the AoPS ratings.

<img src="math_oda_difficulty_distribution.png" alt="Difficulty Distribution" width="600" />

ODA-Math-460k features a balanced mix of fundamental and intermediate reasoning tasks:

• Primary Mode: Difficulty 1 (~110k samples), providing a dense foundation of basic mathematical concepts.
• Secondary Mode: Difficulty 6 (~72k samples), offering a significant concentration of intermediate-level challenges.
• Tail: A steady decline toward Difficulty 10, maintaining a specialized set of high-complexity queries.
