What the numbers mean

Where it came from

rStar-Math (Qwen2-Math-7B base) was published by Microsoft Research Asia,Peking University,Tsinghua University, in China, in August 2025. industry,Academia,Academia is the category the publisher falls under.

It works in Language, and is recorded as doing language modeling/generation, Mathematical reasoning.

It builds on Qwen2-Math-7B, which is why it shares that model's general shape and size.

Its weights were never published, so it can only be reached through its provider. No graphics card changes that.
