What is ZiYue-o1
ZiYue-o1 is China's first reasoning model that outputs step-by-step explanations, released by NetEase Youdao. The model adopts a 14B lightweight architecture, specifically designed for consumer-grade graphics cards, and can run stably on devices with low VRAM. Through chain-of-thought technology, it simulates the way humans think, outputting detailed problem-solving steps in a manner of "talking to itself" and self-correction. This step-by-step explanation feature is particularly suitable for educational scenarios and can help students better understand and master knowledge. ZiYue-o1 performs outstandingly in educational applications, especially in K12 mathematics teaching, where it can provide precise analytical approaches and answers. The model has been applied to NetEase Youdao's AI all-subject learning assistant "Youdao XiaopP", supporting a Q&A process that "first provides the analytical approach, then provides the answer."

Technical Principles of ZiYue-o1
- Chain-of-thought technology: ZiYue-o1 adopts chain-of-thought technology, simulating the way humans think to form longer chains of thought and achieve a reasoning process closer to that of humans. When solving problems, the model "talks to itself" and self-corrects, ultimately outputting a step-by-step problem-solving process.
- Lightweight design: The model adopts a parameter scale of 14B, is specifically designed for consumer-grade graphics cards, and can run stably on devices with low VRAM. This lightweight design lowers the hardware threshold and enables the model to run efficiently on ordinary consumer-grade graphics cards.
- Step-by-step explanation feature: As China's first reasoning model that outputs step-by-step explanations, ZiYue-o1 can break down complex problem-solving processes into multiple steps to help users understand gradually.
- Self-correction and diverse approaches: During reasoning, the model has self-correction capabilities, can promptly correct erroneous reasoning, and explores multiple problem-solving approaches to ensure the accuracy of the final answer.
