The first stage shifts the model's reasoning language from English to Spanish through supervised fine-tuning on reasoning traces from toroe/ReasonXL-SFT.

The corresponding SFT model is:

DGurgurov/OpenThinker3-7B-SFT-ES

Stage 2 — RL

This model applies RL (Dr. GRPO) to the corresponding SFT model.

The objective is to recover reasoning quality lost during supervised fine-tuning while preserving compliance with the target reasoning language.

Training uses a composite reward over verifiable mathematical problems.
