# Getting Started

We open source the code and scripts we used for data curation, training, and evaluation for Sky-T1-32B-Preview, you can find more details in each directory.
- [`recipes`](./recipes/): Recipes - data curation steps and training strategies - for building our models `Sky-T1-32B-Flash`, `Sky-T1-32B-Preview` and `Sky-T1-7B` series. 
- [`skythought/evals`](./skythought/evals/): Our data generation and evaluation library. 
- [`skythought/train`](./skythought/train/): Training scripts for Sky-T1. We use [Llama-Factory](https://github.com/hiyouga/LLaMA-Factory) to perform training. 
- [`skythought/skythought-rl`](./skythought/skythought-rl/): RL training code for Sky-T1-7B and Sky-T1-mini.

#### Results on non-reasoning benchmarks

We also evaluate on non-reasoning benchmarks (these are benchmarks for instruction-following, QA, etc) to test whether the model has traded-off capability in other domains for better performance in reasoning-related benchmarks.
