5.1 Supervised Fine-Tuning

  1. How did DeepSeek-V3 distill reasoning from DeepSeek-R1 without inheriting its verbosity?
    Domain expert models were trained with SFT and RL on two kinds of samples: problems with original concise answers, and problems with R1’s long reasoning plus a system prompt asking for reflection and verification. RL taught the experts to blend R1’s patterns into clearer answers; rejection sampling from them then produced the final SFT data.
