We are reproducing the full DeepSeek R1 data and training pipeline so everybody can use their recipe. Instead of doing it in secret we can do it together in the open!

🧪 Step 1: replicate the R1-Distill models by distilling a high-quality reasoning corpus from DeepSeek-R1.

🧠 Step 2: replicate the pure RL pipeline that DeepSeek used to create R1-Zero. This will involve curating new, large-scale datasets for math, reasoning, and code.

🔥 Step 3: show we can go from base model -> SFT -> RL via multi-stage training.

I was initially pretty sceptical about Meta's Coconut paper [1] because the largest perf gains were reported on toy linguistic problems. However, these results on machine translation are pretty impressive!

https://x.com/casper_hansen_/status/1875872309996855343

Together with the recent PRIME method [2] for scaling RL, reasoning for open models is looking pretty exciting for 2025!

This paper ( HuatuoGPT-o1, Towards Medical Complex Reasoning with LLMs (2412.18925)) has a really interesting recipe for inducing o1-like behaviour in Llama models:

* Iteratively sample CoTs from the model, using a mix of different search strategies. This gives you something like Stream of Search via prompting.
* Verify correctness of each CoT using GPT-4o (needed because exact match doesn't work well in medicine where there are lots of aliases)
* Use GPT-4o to reformat the concatenated CoTs into a single stream that includes smooth transitions like "hmm, wait" etc that one sees in o1
* Use the resulting data for SFT & RL
* Use sparse rewards from GPT-4o to guide RL training. They find RL gives an average ~3 point boost across medical benchmarks and SFT on this data already gives a strong improvement.

Applying this strategy to other domains could be quite promising, provided the training data can be formulated with verifiable problems!

We outperform Llama 70B with Llama 3B on hard math by scaling test-time compute 🔥

How? By combining step-wise reward models with tree search algorithms :)

We show that smol models can match or exceed the performance of their much larger siblings when given enough "time to think"

We're open sourcing the full recipe and sharing a detailed blog post.

In our blog post we cover:

📈 Compute-optimal scaling: How we implemented DeepMind's recipe to boost the mathematical capabilities of open models at test-time.

🎄 Diverse Verifier Tree Search (DVTS): An unpublished extension we developed to the verifier-guided tree search technique. This simple yet effective method improves diversity and delivers better performance, particularly at large test-time compute budgets.

🧭 Search and Learn: A lightweight toolkit for implementing search strategies with LLMs and built for speed with vLLM

Here's the links:

- Blog post: HuggingFaceH4/blogpost-scaling-test-time-compute

- Code: https://github.com/huggingface/search-and-learn

Enjoy!

After some heated discussion 🔥, we clarify our intent re. storage limits on the Hub

TL;DR:
- public storage is free, and (unless blatant abuse) unlimited. We do ask that you consider upgrading to PRO and/or Enterprise Hub if possible
- private storage is paid above a significant free tier (1TB if you have a paid account, 100GB otherwise)

docs: https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/storage-limits

We optimize our infrastructure continuously to scale our storage for the coming years of growth in Machine learning, to the benefit of the community 🔥

Smol TTS models are here! OuteTTS-0.1-350M - Zero shot voice cloning, built on LLaMa architecture, CC-BY license! 🔥

> Pure language modeling approach to TTS
> Zero-shot voice cloning
> LLaMa architecture w/ Audio tokens (WavTokenizer)
> BONUS: Works on-device w/ llama.cpp ⚡

Three-step approach to TTS:

> Audio tokenization using WavTokenizer (75 tok per second)
> CTC forced alignment for word-to-audio token mapping
> Structured prompt creation w/ transcription, duration, audio tokens

The model is extremely impressive for 350M parameters! Kudos to the
OuteAI team on such a brilliant feat - I'd love to see this be applied on larger data and smarter backbones like SmolLM 🤗
