This model is Phi-4-mini-instruct trained with RLCC (Reinforcement Learning with Confidence Curriculum) on Big-Math-digits. RLCC uses the calibrated confidence produced by an RLCR checkpoint as a difficulty signal: the training set is partitioned into K = 3 shuffled groups, each sorted easy-to-hard (descending confidence), then concatenated into the curriculum. Training starts fresh from the base model (not from the RLCR checkpoint) with the same reward and GRPO optimization as RLCR/RLVR — only the order of training data differs.
