Instructions to use divelab/OPDLM-MATH-8B-Thinking with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use divelab/OPDLM-MATH-8B-Thinking with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="divelab/OPDLM-MATH-8B-Thinking")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# pip install -U transformers accelerate
# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoModelWithLMHead
model = AutoModelWithLMHead.from_pretrained("divelab/OPDLM-MATH-8B-Thinking", device_map="auto")

OPDLM-MATH-8B-Thinking

OPDLM-MATH-8B-Thinking is an On-Policy Distillation Language Model (OPDLM) — a block-diffusion language model (block size 4, 4 denoising steps per block) post-trained for mathematical reasoning. It is built on a block-diffusion adaptation of Qwen/Qwen3-8B (architecture a2d-qwen3).

This is the thinking variant: long-context (8k) math post-training with an explicit chain-of-thought thinking block enabled at inference.

arXiv report: arxiv.org/abs/2606.06712

Usage

This model uses custom modeling code; load with trust_remote_code=True. Generation is block-diffusion (non–left-to-right), so use the project's inference utilities (block_size=4, denoising_steps_per_block=4) rather than vanilla model.generate.

from transformers import AutoModel, AutoTokenizer
tok = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("divelab/OPDLM-MATH-8B-Thinking", trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("divelab/OPDLM-MATH-8B-Thinking", trust_remote_code=True)
