UltraData-IF-1.5B is an RL-trained instruction-following model initialized from DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B and trained on the instruction-following subset of openbmb/UltraData-SFT-2605.

This model is associated with the paper: Rethinking On-Policy Distillation of Large Language Models II: One Training Example

Model Description

UltraData-IF-1.5B serves as the teacher model for the instruction-following experiments in our paper. It is paired with DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B to study on-policy distillation in the instruction-following domain. The two models share the same architecture, tokenizer, and chat template, allowing token-level distillation without cross-model-family mismatch.

Usage

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_id = "Thinking-Space/UltraData-IF-1.5B"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_id,
    torch_dtype="auto",
    device_map="auto",
)

messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "Write a haiku about distillation. Use exactly three lines."}]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    add_generation_prompt=True,
    return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(inputs, max_new_tokens=2048)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs.shape[-1]:], skip_special_tokens=True))
