Qwen-C3PO-7B

📦 Code: insait-institute/c3po

Qwen2.5-Math 7B fine-tuned with C3PO, from the paper "Parameter Exploration for RLVR via Variational Learning".

3PO is a family of parameter-space exploration strategies for Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR). Instead of relying only on action-space heuristics (temperature, clipping, entropy bonuses), 3PO samples model weights from an approximate posterior learned with the variational optimizer IVON; the amount of weight noise becomes an extra control lever for exploration.

C3PO splits each GRPO group of G rollouts across N independent weight perturbations (G/N rollouts each). Advantages are computed over the full, more-diverse group, with a Seq-MIS (sequence-level multiple-importance-sampling) correction to account for the differing perturbations. This gives extra parameter-space diversity at the same rollout budget as GRPO.
