  • OpenThinker-32B achieves 90.6% accuracy on MATH500, surpassing DeepSeek’s 89.4% with significantly less training data.
  • The model demonstrates superior efficiency, requiring only 114,000 training examples compared to DeepSeek’s 800,000.
  • Open source release includes verified and unverified datasets, enabling broader community development.
  • Training completed in 90 hours using four nodes with eight H100 GPUs, showing practical implementation potential.
  • Built on Alibaba‘s Qwen2.5-32B-Instruct LLM, supporting a 16,000-token context window for complex operations.

A breakthrough in AI reasoning emerged Wednesday as international researchers unveiled OpenThinker-32B, a model that challenges DeepSeek‘s dominance in mathematical and problem-solving capabilities while using just one-seventh of the training data.

The model, developed by the Open Thoughts consortium, demonstrated remarkable efficiency by achieving superior results across multiple benchmarks. On the MATH500 assessment, OpenThinker-32B scored 90.6% accuracy, exceeding DeepSeek’s 89.4%. Similarly, it outperformed in general problem-solving with a GPQA-Diamond score of 61.6 versus DeepSeek’s 57.6.

The project’s efficiency stems from its innovative OpenThoughts-114k dataset, which includes comprehensive metadata, ground truth solutions, and domain-specific information. A separate unverified dataset containing 137,000 samples was processed using Italy‘s Leonardo Supercomputer, consuming 11,520 A100 hours in just 30 hours.

This development arrives amid intensifying competition in AI reasoning capabilities. OpenAI recently announced reasoning features for post-GPT-5 models, while xAI‘s Grok-3 and Nous Research‘s DeepHermes join the race.

The model’s accessibility through HuggingFace, including a smaller 7B parameter version, represents a significant shift toward open-source AI development. Unlike DeepSeek, which keeps its training data private, OpenThinker’s complete transparency enables easier reproduction and improvement by the developer community.

Backed by researchers from Stanford, Berkeley, UCLA, and the Juelich Supercomputing Center, along with the Toyota Research Institute, OpenThinker-32B demonstrates how international collaboration can produce competitive AI models without relying on massive proprietary datasets.
