# Co-rewarding: Qwen2.5-7B Model
This is the Qwen2.5-7B model trained by the Co-rewarding method using the MATH training set, as presented in the paper [Co-rewarding: Stable Self-supervised RL for Eliciting Reasoning in Large Language Models](https://huggingface.co/papers/2508.00410).

## Model Description
While reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) is effective to improve the reasoning ability of large language models (LLMs), its reliance on human-annotated labels leads to the scaling up dilemma, especially for complex tasks. Recent self-rewarding methods investigate a label-free alternative to unlock the reasoning capabilities of LLMs, yet they frequently encounter the non-negligible training collapse issue, as the single-view supervision signal easily forms the self-consistent illusion, yielding the reward hacking.
**Co-rewarding** is a novel self-supervised RL framework that improves training stability by seeking complementary supervision from another views. Specifically, Co-rewarding is instantiated in two ways:
1. **Co-rewarding-I**: A data-side instantiation that derives reward signals from contrastive agreement across semantically analogous questions.
2. **Co-rewarding-II**: A model-side instantiation that maintains a slowly-updated reference teacher with pseudo labels to realize self-distillation.
Intuitively, such instantiations introduce different levels of discrepancy to increase the difficulty of training collapse on trivial reasoning solutions. Empirically, Co-rewarding exhibits stable training across various setups, and outperforms other self-rewarding baselines by $+3.31\%$ improvements on average on multiple mathematical reasoning benchmarks, especially by $+7.49\%$ on Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct. Notably, Co-rewarding reaches or even surpasses RLVR with ground-truth (GT) label in several cases, such as a Pass@$1$ of $94.01\%$ on GSM8K with Qwen3-8B-Base.
