DeepScaleR is a 1.5B math reasoning model that achieves 43.1% Pass@1 on AIME, surpassing O1-Preview. It demonstrates that small models can match frontier-level performance when RL training is scaled effectively.

Approach

DeepScaleR iteratively scales Deepseek’s GRPO algorithm from 8K to 16K to 24K context length for thinking, trained on top of DeepSeek-R1-Distill-1.5B on math competition problems. See the cookbooks/math cookbook (single-turn math with \boxed{} answers) for the AgentFlow-based reproducer. Released: February 2025
