+## Model Overview
+
+### Description
+
+NFT-7B is a math reasoning model finetuned from [Qwen2.5-Math-7B](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen2.5-Math-7B) using the Negative-aware Fine-Tuning (NFT) algorithm. NFT is a supervised learning approach that enables LLMs to reflect on their failures and improve autonomously with no external teachers. Unlike traditional supervised methods that discard incorrect answers, NFT constructs an implicit negative policy to model and learn from these failures, achieving performance comparable to leading RL algorithms like GRPO and DAPO.
+
+This model demonstrates that self-reflective improvement is not exclusive to RL methods—supervised learning can effectively leverage negative feedback for continuous improvement in mathematical reasoning tasks.
+
+This model is for research and development only.

+
+## Training Method
+
+![NFT Method](./assets/method_NFT.jpg)
+
+The NFT training pipeline consists of three main components:
+
+1. **Data Collection:** The model generates answers to math questions, which are split into positive (correct) and negative (incorrect) datasets based on answer correctness.
+
+2. **Implicit Negative Policy:** NFT constructs an implicit negative policy to model negative answers, parameterized with the same positive policy targeted for optimization, enabling direct policy optimization on all generations.
+
+3. **Policy Optimization:** Both positive and negative answers are used to optimize the LLM policy via supervised learning with the NFT objective:
+
+```
+L_NFT(θ) = r[-log(π_θ⁺(a|q) / π(a|q))] + (1-r)[-log((1 - r_q * (π_θ⁺(a|q) / π(a|q))) / (1-r_q))]
+```
+
+![Policy Distribution](./assets/distribution_NFT.jpg)

+
+**Dataset Size:** 17k (math problems)
+
+**Data Collection Method:** Automated
+
+**Labeling Method by dataset**: Automated
+
+The whole dataset is used for training. We directly evaluate the model on several other math evaluation datasets.

+## Usage
+
+> [!Important]
+> **NFT-7B** is optimized for mathematical reasoning tasks. For best results, use clear mathematical prompts and request step-by-step reasoning.
+
+The model can be used with the Hugging Face Transformers library:
+
+```python
+from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
+
+model_name = "nvidia/NFT-7B"
+device = "cuda" # the device to load the model onto
+
+model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
+    model_name,
+    torch_dtype="auto",
+    device_map="auto"
+)
+tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
+
+# Example math problem
+problem = "Find the value of $x$ that satisfies the equation $\\sqrt{x+7} = x-5$."
+
+# Format the prompt to encourage step-by-step reasoning
+prompt = f"{problem}\nPlease reason step by step, and put your final answer within \\boxed{{}}."
+
+messages = [
+    {"role": "user", "content": prompt}
+]
+
+text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
+    messages,
+    tokenize=False,
+    add_generation_prompt=True
+)
+model_inputs = tokenizer([text], return_tensors="pt").to(device)
+
+# Generate response
+generated_ids = model.generate(
+    **model_inputs,
+    max_new_tokens=512,
+    temperature=0  # Use 0 for deterministic output
+)
+generated_ids = [
+    output_ids[len(input_ids):] for input_ids, output_ids in zip(model_inputs.input_ids, generated_ids)
+]
+
+response = tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)[0]
+print(response)
+```
+
+### Usage Recommendations
+
+1. **Temperature:** Use temperature=0 for deterministic outputs, or 0.1-0.3 for slight variation
+2. **Sampling:** For best results on competition problems, consider using multiple samples with majority voting
+3. **Format:** Include instructions for step-by-step reasoning directly in the user prompt
+4. **Final Answer:** Instruct the model to put the final answer in `\boxed{}`
+5. **Language:** This model is primarily trained on English mathematical problems
+
+## Requirements
+
+The code of Qwen2.5 has been integrated into Hugging Face `transformers`, and we recommend using the latest version:
+- `transformers>=4.37.0`
