OpenThinker-32B

This model is a fine-tuned version of Qwen/Qwen2.5-32B-Instruct on the OpenThoughts-114k dataset.

The dataset is derived by distilling DeepSeek-R1 using the data pipeline available on github. More info about the dataset can be found on the dataset card at OpenThoughts-114k dataset.

The numbers reported in the table below are evaluated with our open-source tool Evalchemy.

We are fully open-source. Our model weights, datasets, data generation code, evaluation code, and training code are all publicly available.

Training procedure

We finetune Qwen2.5-32B-Instruct on OpenThoughts-114k for 3 epochs with a 16k context length using LlamaFactory. Our full training configuration is provided in our repository. Training the 32B model on OpenThoughts-114k was done on AWS SageMaker with 8xH100 P5 nodes. On 4 nodes, this took around 90 hours. Meanwhile, for training on OpenThoughts-Unverified-173k, we used 96 nodes of 4xA100 (64 GB per GPU), training took 30 hours, spending 11,520 A100 hours on the Leonardo Supercomputer.
