This repository contains a 7B parameter student model trained using the Reinforcement-Learned Teachers (RLT) pipeline introduced in our paper Reinforcement Learning Teachers.

This 7B RLT student was distilled from a 7B Reinforcement-Learned Teacher, which has been explicitly trained to produce high-quality reasoning traces optimized for student distillation. The model was trained with supervised fine-tuning using the same hyperparameters, the system prompt, and the reasoning tags from Li et al. 2025. Evaluation was conducted using the SkyThought library at commit 4bb8f3e. Please refer to our repository and paper for details and results.
