2.3.3 Rejection Sampling and Supervised Fine-Tuning

  1. How was the SFT data for DeepSeek-R1’s second fine-tuning built?
    From the converged reasoning-RL checkpoint, several responses were sampled per prompt and only correct, readable ones kept (about 600k reasoning samples, some judged by DeepSeek-V3); about 200k non-reasoning samples (writing, factual QA, translation) came from the DeepSeek-V3 pipeline. DeepSeek-V3-Base was then fine-tuned on all 800k.
