What is OpenMath-Nemotron
OpenMath-Nemotron is a series of open-source mathematical reasoning models launched by NVIDIA, specifically designed to solve complex mathematical problems, including Olympiad-level challenges. The models are trained on the large-scale dataset OpenMathReasoning, which contains 540,000 unique problems and 3.2 million long reasoning solutions. The OpenMath-Nemotron series includes OpenMath-Nemotron-1.5B, OpenMath-Nemotron-7B, OpenMath-Nemotron-14B, and OpenMath-Nemotron-32B, as well as OpenMath-Nemotron-14B-Kaggle (the model used in the AIMO-2 competition). Among them, the 1.5B version surpasses the 14B in certain tasksDeepSeek-R1model.
Main Features of OpenMath-Nemotron
- Solving Complex Mathematical Problems: Supports handling mathematical problems ranging from basic to Olympiad level.
- Long Reasoning Capability: Generates detailed problem-solving steps based on step-by-step thinking.

Technical Principles of OpenMath-Nemotron
- Large-Scale Dataset: Trained using the large-scale dataset OpenMathReasoning, which contains 540,000 unique mathematical problems and 3.2 million long reasoning solutions. The data comes from the Art of Problem Solving (AoPS) community forum and has undergone rigorous screening and processing.
- Long Reasoning (Chain-of-Thought, CoT): The model performs step-by-step reasoning by generating a series of intermediate problem-solving steps. This supports the model in thinking more deeply before generating the final answer.
- Tool-Integrated Reasoning (TIR): Integrates code execution with long reasoning based on iterative training, generation, and quality filtering. The model prompts code for computation when needed, executes the code in a sandbox, and obtains more accurate solutions.
- Model Training and Optimization: Uses supervised fine-tuning (SFT) technology to train the Qwen2.5-Base model, supporting multiple tasks, including CoT solution generation, TIR solution generation, and GenSelect. Uses the AdamW optimizer and a cosine learning rate decay strategy, combined with sequence packing and context parallelization techniques, significantly accelerating training on long reasoning data.
- Inference Optimization: Performs model inference optimization based on TensorRT-LLM, supporting dynamic batching and multiple quantization techniques such as int8 and FP8, improving inference speed and reducing latency.
