Hi,

Congratulations on such a fantastic piece of work!

In Section 2.4 of your paper, you mention employing an 800k curated dataset for SFT on the LLama and Qwen models. I was wondering if there is any possibility of open-sourcing this dataset? It would be immensely valuable for the community and could greatly aid related research efforts.

Also, could you clarify what "distillation" means in this context? Were the distilled models simply trained using standard SFT on the generated traces/answers from Deepseek R1? Or were they trained with logit-level distillation of some kind?

@corbt As I understand, they ran SFT on the 800k sft data.

Yes please this is exactly what I need too, i want to train interpretable by design LLMs that can reason with good performance, this would be perfect to help that research goal. Please open source this data so we can replicate the distillation process.

mysterous so-called "distillation" i will never know, after searching the entire web tutorial :(
1.does the distillation compute the loss between teacher and student logits ?
2.or does it just collect a high-quality SFT data using rejection sampling and then perform SFT on the small parameters model?
3.does distillation related to lora? ( i have seen many tutorials teaching us reproducing "distillation" by lora fine-tuning)
