Qwen3-8B-ARPO-SFT-paper
Full-parameter SFT of Qwen/Qwen3-8B, following the cold-start recipe in Appendix E.2 of Agentic Reinforced Policy Optimization (ARPO).
This is the paper variant (max length 4096, global batch 128, weight decay 0.1). A companion code variant matching the released ARPO LLaMA-Factory yaml is at wenlongzhao/ARPO-reproduce_Qwen3-8B_SFT_code-config.
Training data
Trained on dongguanting/ARPO-SFT-54K (Tool-Star 54K + STILL), the official ARPO SFT mix.
Training procedure
Trained with LLaMA-Factory full SFT, DeepSpeed ZeRO-3, BF16, and FlashAttention-2.
