1.2M reasoning traces — 850k math, 250k code, and 100k science questions — with chains of thought generated by QwQ-32B. The result of 1,000+ controlled experiments on reasoning-data curation, and the training set behind OpenThinker3-7B, the state-of-the-art open-data 7B reasoning model (53% AIME 2025). The reference open recipe for distilling reasoning ability.

How much data does OpenThoughts3-1.2M contain, and do I need all of it?
OpenThoughts3-1.2M contains 1.2M Rows. You rarely need all of it: for style and format fine-tuning, a few hundred to a few thousand examples are enough — load a slice (e.g. split="train[:1000]") and scale up only if quality plateaus.
What is OpenThoughts3-1.2M best used for?
Distilling strong math/code/science reasoning into 7B–32B models. It belongs to the Reasoning section of our dataset hub, where you'll find alternatives and complementary sets.
