Microsoft’s new rStar-Math technique upgrades small models to outperform OpenAI’s o1-preview at math problems
January 10, 2025
Microsoft is doubling down on the potential of small language models (SLMs) with the unveiling of rStar-Math, a new reasoning technique that can be applied to small models to boost their performance on math problems using reasoning techniques — performance similar to, and in some cases exceeding, that of OpenAI’s o1-preview model.
While still in a research phase — as outlined in a paper…
