What is DeepSeek-GRM
DeepSeek-GRM isDeepSeeka Generalist Reward Modeling jointly proposed with researchers from Tsinghua University. Through technologies such as Pointwise Generative Reward Modeling (GRM) and Self-Principled Critique Tuning (SPCT), it significantly improves the quality of the reward model and its scalability during inference. GRM outputs reward scores by generating structured evaluation text (including evaluation principles and detailed analysis of responses), rather than directly outputting a single scalar value. DeepSeek-GRM performs excellently on multiple comprehensive reward model benchmarks, significantly outperforming existing methods and multiple public models. Its inference-time scaling performance is particularly outstanding, with performance continuing to improve as the number of samples increases.

Technical principles of DeepSeek-GRM
- Pointwise Generative Reward Modeling (GRM): It outputs reward scores by generating structured evaluation text (including evaluation principles and detailed analysis of responses), rather than directly outputting a single scalar value. It improves the flexibility of inputs and provides potential for inference-time scaling.
- Self-Principled Critique Tuning (SPCT): Through two stages, rejection-based fine-tuning and rule-based online reinforcement learning, it trains the GRM model to adaptively generate high-quality evaluation principles and accurate critique content.
- Meta Reward Model (Meta RM): It is used to evaluate the quality of the evaluation principles and critiques generated by GRM, screen out high-quality samples for voting, and further improve inference-time scaling performance.
- Multi-Token Prediction (MTP): It supports the model in predicting multiple tokens in a single forward pass, improving training efficiency and inference speed.
- Relative policy optimization(Group Relative Policy Optimization): It optimizes the model's policy by comparing the relative advantages and disadvantages of different reasoning paths on the same task.
- Mixture of Experts architecture (MoE): By dynamically selecting expert networks, it reduces unnecessary computation and improves the speed and flexibility of the model in handling complex tasks.
- FP8 mixed-precision training: It uses more appropriate data precision during training, reducing computation and saving time and cost.
