rStar-Math (Qwen2-Math-7B base)
No estimate
No hardware requirements for this model
The weights for this model have not been published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any size. It is reachable only through its provider, and no graphics card changes that.
On record
Full specification
Everything on record for this model. Most of it describes how it was trained rather than how it runs — useful context for judging how much work went into it, and how it compares with models built at a different scale.

What it does
The problem areas the model was built for. A model can carry several of each.
- Domain
- Language
- Task
- Language modeling/generation, Mathematical reasoning
- Base model
- Qwen2-Math-7B
Size
How large the model is and how much data it was trained on. Parameters are the figure that decides whether it fits on a given graphics card.
- Parameters
- 7B
- Training data
- tokens
- Epochs
- 2
- Batch size
- 128
~1.35M trajectories with 4096 sequence length: 5530M
Training compute
The arithmetic performed to train the model, measured in floating-point operations. It is a measure of what the training run cost, not of how fast the finished model answers you.
- How it was established
- Operation counting
- Fine-tuning compute
- 2.3 × 10²⁰ FLOP
5530000000 * 7000000000 * 6 = 2.323e20
The training run
What it physically took to train: which chips, how many, for how long, and what that drew from the wall.
- Training hardware
- NVIDIA H100 SXM5 80GB

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 the country recorded as China, during August 2025. The category the publisher falls under is industry,Academia,Academia.
It works in the domain of Language, and is recorded as performing the task of language modeling/generation, Mathematical reasoning.
It builds on Qwen2-Math-7B. That is why it shares the base 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.
Answers
rStar-Math (Qwen2-Math-7B base) — common questions
rStar-Math (Qwen2-Math-7B base)— what is it used for?
It works in the domain of Language, and is recorded as handling the task of language modeling/generation, Mathematical reasoning. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.
rStar-Math (Qwen2-Math-7B base)— what GPU do I need to run it?
None. This is a closed model — its weights were never published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any price. It is reachable only through its provider.
rStar-Math (Qwen2-Math-7B base)— is it open source?
No. Its weights have not been published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.
rStar-Math (Qwen2-Math-7B base)— how many parameters does it have?
It has a parameter count of 7B. That figure is the total, and it is what decides how much memory the model needs — roughly half a gigabyte per billion at the compression most people use.
