# Model Card for OlympicCoder-7B

OlympicCoder-7B is a code model that achieves strong performance on competitive coding benchmarks such as LiveCodeBench and the 2024 International Olympiad in Informatics. 

* Repository: https://github.com/huggingface/open-r1
* Blog post: https://huggingface.co/blog/open-r1/update-3

## Model description

- **Model type:** A 7B parameter model fine-tuned on a decontaminated version of the codeforces dataset.
- **Language(s) (NLP):** Primarily English
- **License:** apache-2.0
- **Finetuned from model:** [Qwen/Qwen2.5-Coder-7B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen2.5-Coder-7B-Instruct)

## Evaluation

We compare the performance of OlympicCoder models on two main benchmarks for competitive coding:

* **[IOI'2024:](https://github.com/huggingface/ioi)** 6 very challenging problems from the 2024 International Olympiad in Informatics. Models are allowed up to 50 submissions per problem.
* **[LiveCodeBench:](https://livecodebench.github.io)** Python programming problems source from platforms like CodeForces and LeetCoder. We use the `v4_v5` subset of [`livecodebench/code_generation_lite`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/livecodebench/code_generation_lite), which corresponds to 268 problems. We use `lighteval` to evaluate models on LiveCodeBench using the sampling parameters described [here](https://github.com/huggingface/open-r1?tab=readme-ov-file#livecodebench).

> [!NOTE]
> The OlympicCoder models were post-trained exclusively on C++ solutions generated by DeepSeek-R1. As a result the performance on LiveCodeBench should be considered to be partially _out-of-domain_, since this expects models to output solutions in Python.

## Usage
Here's how you can run the model using the `pipeline()` function from 🤗 Transformers:

```python
# pip install transformers
# pip install accelerate

import torch
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="open-r1/OlympicCoder-7B", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, device_map="auto")

# We use the tokenizer's chat template to format each message - see https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main/en/chat_templating
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Write a python program to calculate the 10th Fibonacci number"},
]
prompt = pipe.tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
outputs = pipe(prompt, max_new_tokens=8000, do_sample=True, temperature=0.7, top_k=50, top_p=0.95)
print(outputs[0]["generated_text"])
#<|im_start|>user
#Write a python program to calculate the 10th fibonacci number<|im_end|>
#<|im_start|>assistant
#<think>Okay, I need to write a Python program that calculates the 10th Fibonacci number. Hmm, the Fibonacci sequence starts with 0 and 1. Each subsequent number is the sum of the two preceding ones. So the sequence goes: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, and so on. ...
```

> [!WARNING]
> To ensure that the model consistently outputs a long chain-of-thought, we have edited the chat template to prefill the first assistant turn with a `<think>` token. As a result, the outputs from this model will not show the opening `<think>` token if you use the model's `generate()` method.  To apply reinforcement learning with a format reward, either prepend the `<think>` token to the model's completions or amend the chat template to remove the prefill.
