## Introduction
💬DEMO 🌟Github 🎓Paper
**Confucius3-Math** is a 14B parameter open-source resoning LLM developed by the NetEase Youdao AI Team, specifically optimized for K-12 mathematics education. Unlike general-purpose models, Confucius3-Math: - ✅ SOTA Performance on Math Tasks Outperforms larger models on Chinese K-12 math problems through specialized RL training - ✅ Cost-Effective Deployment Runs efficiently on a single consumer-grade GPU (e.g., RTX 4090D) - ✅ Cultural & Curriculum Alignment Optimized for China's national mathematics standards and problem-solving methodologies Confucius3-Math was developed through an RL-only post-training process with novel data scheduling policy and improved group-relative advantage estimator. Please refer to our technical report for details.

## Limitations However, there are some limitations that must be stated in advance: 1. **Scenario Limitations**: Our optimization is only carried out on data from the K12 mathematics scenario, and the effectiveness has only been verified in math-related benchmark tests. The performance of the model in non-mathematical scenarios has not been tested, so we cannot guarantee its quality and effectiveness in other fields. 2. **Invalid Results**: The model may sometimes fall into circular reasoning. Since we use explicit identifiers to divide the thinking and summary parts, when the model enters this mode, it may generate invalid results that cannot be parsed. 3. **Safety and Ethics**: This model has not undergone optimization and testing for alignment at the safety and ethical levels. Any output generated by the model does not represent the official positions, views, or attitudes of our company. When using this model, users should independently judge and evaluate the rationality and applicability of the output content and comply with relevant laws, regulations, and social ethics. ## Quickstart The environmental requirements for running it are exactly the same as those of the [Qwen2.5-14B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen2.5-14B-Instruct) model. Therefore, you can easily use Transformers or vLLM to load and run the model for inference, and deploy your services. The only thing you need to pay attention to is to use the predefined system message and user message templates provided below to request the model. Other templates may also be usable, but we haven't tested them yet. ```python SYSTEM_PROMPT_TEMPLATE = """A conversation between User and Assistant. The user asks a question, and the Assistant solves it. The assistant first thinks about the reasoning process in the mind and then provides the user with the answer. The reasoning process and answer are enclosed within and tags, respectively, i.e., reasoning process here answer here .""" USER_PROMPT_TEMPLATE = """{question}""" ``` Then you can create your `messages` as follows and use them to request model results. You just need to fill in your instructions in the "question" field. ```python from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer model_name = "netease-youdao/Confucius3-Math" model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained( model_name, torch_dtype="auto", device_map="auto" ) tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name) messages = [ {'role': 'system', 'content': SYSTEM_PROMPT_TEMPLATE}, {'role': 'user', 'content': USER_PROMPT_TEMPLATE.format(question=question)}, ] text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template( messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True ) model_inputs = tokenizer([text], return_tensors="pt").to(model.device) generated_ids = model.generate( **model_inputs, max_new_tokens=32768 ) generated_ids = [ output_ids[len(input_ids):] for input_ids, output_ids in zip(model_inputs.input_ids, generated_ids) ] response = tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)[0] ``` > [!NOTE] > **Generate Parameters**: We suggest using Temperature=1.0, TopP=0.7 to sample. After obtaining the model results, you can parse out the "thinking" and "summary" parts as follows. ```python def parse_result_nostep(result): think_pattern = r"(.*?)(.*)" think_list = re.findall(think_pattern, result, re.DOTALL) assert len(think_list) == 1, \ f"The parsing results do not meet the expectations.\n{result}" think = think_list[0][0].strip() summary = think_list[0][1].strip() return think, summary thinking, summary = parse_result_nostep(response) ``` ## Citation If you find our work helpful, feel free to give us a cite. ``` @misc{confucius3-math, author = {NetEase Youdao Team}, title = {Confucius3-Math: A Lightweight High-Performance Reasoning LLM for Chinese K-12 Mathematics Learning}, url = {https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.18330}, month = {June}, year = {2025} } ```
