Alibaba Cloud’s Qwen team has unveiled Qwen2-Math, a series of large language models specifically designed to tackle complex mathematical problems.
These new models – built upon the existing Qwen2 foundation – demonstrate remarkable proficiency in solving arithmetic and mathematical challenges, and outperform former industry leaders.
The Qwen team crafted Qwen2-Math using a vast and diverse Mathematics-specific Corpus. This corpus comprises a rich tapestry of high-quality resources, including web texts, books, code, exam questions, and synthetic data generated by Qwen2 itself.
Rigorous evaluation on both English and Chinese mathematical benchmarks – including GSM8K, Math, MMLU-STEM, CMATH, and GaoKao Math – revealed the exceptional capabilities of Qwen2-Math. Notably, the flagship model, Qwen2-Math-72B-Instruct, surpassed the performance of proprietary models such as GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 in various mathematical tasks.
“Qwen2-Math-Instruct achieves the best performance among models of the same size, with RM@8 outperforming Maj@8, particularly in the 1.5B and 7B models,” the Qwen team noted.
This superior performance is attributed to the effective implementation of a math-specific reward model during the development process.
Further showcasing its prowess, Qwen2-Math demonstrated impressive results in challenging mathematical competitions like the American Invitational Mathematics Examination (AIME) 2024 and the American Mathematics Contest (AMC) 2023.
To maintain the integrity and prevent any contamination of the model, the Qwen team has implemented strong decontamination methods both before and after training. This thorough process involves eliminating duplicate samples and detecting any overlaps with test datasets to keep the model accurate and dependable.
Looking forward, the Qwen team is set to enhance the capabilities of Qwen2-Math to support multiple languages, moving beyond just English to include bilingual and multilingual models. This dedication to diversity aims to bring sophisticated mathematical problem solving to a worldwide audience.
“Our ongoing mission is to improve our models’ ability to tackle intricate and complex math challenges,” stated the Qwen team.
