Qwen3-8B-Base RLSD
RLSD self-distillation reinforcement learning on the local math training split.
This repository contains the final merged Hugging Face checkpoint from global_step_100.
The training checkpoint was saved from FSDP shards and merged to safetensors for this upload.
Training Method
- Policy loss mode:
rlsd. - Self-distillation uses reprompt feedback and token reweighting.
- Token reweighting: lambda 0.5, eps_w 0.2, decay steps 50.
- Advantage estimator remains
grpoin the trainer config. - Reward function: local math
compute_scorereward manager. - Fine-tuning type: full-parameter FSDP training, not LoRA.

Intended Use
This model is intended for internal research and analysis of math-focused RL fine-tuning methods. It has not been broadly safety evaluated for production use.
Limitations
The model was trained for 100 optimization steps on a local math dataset split. Reported scores are training-time reward/validation metrics from the same experiment setup and should not be treated as broad benchmark results.
