Full fine-tune of FreedomIntelligence/HuatuoGPT-o1-8B on the reasoning subset of BrainHealthAI/MedCortex-v1 (English, verified chain-of-thought, Apache-2.0).

This reproduces the MedReason recipe (arXiv:2504.00993) with the only variable being the training data: same base, same official SFT.py recipe, same official evaluation harness. It is an internal research checkpoint for a controlled post-training evaluation.

Training

Base: FreedomIntelligence/HuatuoGPT-o1-8B (itself Llama-3.1-8B + medical RL)
Data: MedCortex-v1 task_type=reasoning, English (42086 examples)
Recipe: full FT (no LoRA), 1 epoch, LR 5e-6, cosine, warmup 0.05, global batch ~128, bf16, DeepSpeed ZeRO-3, seq_len 4096, seed 2002
Response format: ## Thinking\n\n<reasoning>\n\n## Final Answer\n\n<answer>

Prompt format

Use the Llama-3.1 chat template; ask a clinical/exam question and the model reasons under ## Thinking then answers under ## Final Answer.

Evaluation

Evaluated with the official MedReason harness (SGLang + eval.py + scorer.py, strict prompt), so scores are drop-in comparable to MedReason paper Table 4.

Intended use & limitations

Decision support / research only — not a medical device; every output requires a licensed professional. 1-epoch checkpoint (paper uses 3): an early read on data quality, not a final model.
