This is the Qwen3-4B-Base model trained by GT-GRPO using DAPO-14k training set, as presented in the paper Co-rewarding: Stable Self-supervised RL for Eliciting Reasoning in Large Language Models.
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. Inspired by the success of self-supervised learning, we propose Co-rewarding, a novel self-supervised RL framework that improves training stability by seeking complementary supervision from another views. Specifically, we instantiate Co-rewarding in two ways: (1) Co-rewarding-I is a data-side instantiation that derives reward signals from contrastive agreement across semantically analogous questions; and (2) Co-rewarding-II is 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 remarkably higher than GT.
