Today, the Alibaba Cloud Tongyi team officially released the new mathematical reasoning process reward model Qwen2.5-Math-PRM. This model offers two sizes, 72B and 7B, with performance significantly outperforming similar open-source process reward models, especially excelling in identifying reasoning errors. The 7B version of Qwen2.5-Math-PRM astonishingly surpasses the widely popular GPT-4o, marking an important step in Alibaba Cloud's research and development of reasoning models.

The Alibaba Qwen team recently published a paper titled 'Lessons Learned from the Development of Process Reward Models in Mathematical Reasoning' and introduced two new models in the Qwen2.5-Math-PRM series, featuring 7B and 72B parameters respectively. These models break through the limitations of the existing PRM framework in mathematical reasoning, significantly improving the accuracy and generalization ability of reasoning models through innovative techniques. Mathematical reasoning has long been a major challenge for large language models (LLMs), especially regarding errors in intermediate reasoning steps.
