(CoT Cold Start) SFT -> Reasoning RL -> (Reject Sampling) SFT(600k Reasoning+200k Non-Reasoning)->All Scenarios RL

Page 3: “Upon nearing convergence in the RL process, we create new SFT data through rejection
sampling on the RL checkpoint, combined with supervised data from DeepSeek-V3 in domains
such as writing, factual QA, and self-cognition, and then retrain the DeepSeek-V3-Base model.”

Page 11: “We fine-tune DeepSeek-V3-Base for two epochs using the above curated dataset of about
800k samples.”

Is "(CoT Cold Start) SFT -> Reasoning RL" only for generating 600k Reasoning CoT data?
