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.

~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.

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.
Answers
rStar-Math (Qwen2-Math-7B base) — common questions
What is rStar-Math (Qwen2-Math-7B base) used for?
