CoT-MedQA-PRM

This is the PRM process reward model (critic) for the CoT agent on MedQA, released as part of RAG-Gym. It is a baseline agent used for comparison in RAG-Gym. The critic scores candidate actions so that an agent can select the best one at each step through critic-guided (Best-of-N) inference.

Base model: meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct
Agent architecture: CoT (a baseline agent used for comparison in RAG-Gym)
Task / dataset: MedQA (medical multiple-choice question answering in the USMLE style)
Training method: process reward modeling (PRM)
Adapter: PEFT LoRA (r=256, alpha=512), task type SEQ_CLS
Precision: bf16

Intended use

Score and rank candidate actions generated by the CoT agent during search on MedQA-style tasks.
Enable critic-guided (Best-of-N) inference within the RAG-Gym framework.

This model is intended for research on process-supervised retrieval-augmented generation. It is not intended for clinical decision-making or other high-stakes use.

How to use

Load the LoRA adapter on top of the base model:

python

import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification
from peft import PeftModel

base = "meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(base)
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(base, num_labels=1, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16)
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(model, "RAG-Gym/CoT-MedQA-PRM")

For full usage within the agent framework (environment setup, inference, and critic-guided Best-of-N selection), see the RAG-Gym repository.

Training

Fine-tuned from meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct on MedQA process-reward data using process reward modeling (PRM) with the TRL library. Adaptation uses LoRA (rank 256, alpha 512, task type SEQ_CLS) in bf16. The training code and full configuration are available in the RAG-Gym repository.

Limitations

The model is trained on MedQA-style data and is intended for research use within RAG-Gym. Outputs may be inaccurate or unsupported by retrieved evidence and should not be relied upon for high-stakes decisions. As an 8B-parameter model, it requires a CUDA-enabled GPU to run efficiently.
