OpenReasoning-Nemotron-1.5B is a large language model (LLM) which is a derivative of Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct (AKA the reference model). It is a reasoning model that is post-trained for reasoning about math, code and science solution generation. We evaluated this model with up to 64K output tokens. The OpenReasoning model is available in the following sizes: 1.5B, 7B and 14B and 32B.
This model is ready for commercial/non-commercial research use.
Our models demonstrate exceptional performance across a suite of challenging reasoning benchmarks. The 7B, 14B, and 32B models consistently set new state-of-the-art records for their size classes.

Combining the work of multiple agents
OpenReasoning-Nemotron models can be used in a "heavy" mode by starting multiple parallel generations and combining them together via generative solution selection (GenSelect). To add this "skill" we follow the original GenSelect training pipeline except we do not train on the selection summary but use the full reasoning trace of DeepSeek R1 0528 671B instead. We only train models to select the best solution for math problems but surprisingly find that this capability directly generalizes to code and science questions! With this "heavy" GenSelect inference mode, OpenReasoning-Nemotron-32B model surpasses O3 (High) on math and coding benchmarks.

To use the model with GenSelect inference, we recommend following our
reference implementation in NeMo-Skills. Alternatively, you can manually extract the summary from all solutions and use this
prompt for the math problems. We will add the prompt we used for the coding problems and a reference implementation soon!
