Abstract

A systematic approach transforms post-trained reasoning models into rigorous olympiad-level solvers through reverse-perplexity curriculum, two-stage reinforcement learning, and test-time scaling, achieving gold-medal performance on mathematical and physics competitions.

Recent progress inreasoning modelshas substantially advanced long-horizon mathematical andscientific problem solving, with several systems now reaching gold-medal-level performance onInternational Mathematical Olympiad(IMO) andInternational Physics Olympiad(IPhO) problems. In this paper, we introduce a simple and unified recipe for converting a post-trained reasoningbackboneinto a rigorous olympiad-level solver. The recipe first uses areverse-perplexity curriculumforSFTto instill rigorousproof-searchandself-checking behaviors, then scales these behaviors through a two-stageRLpipeline that progresses fromRLwithverifiable rewardsto more delicateproof-level RL, and finally boosts solving performance withtest-time scaling. Applying this recipe, we train a 30B-A3BbackbonewithSFTon around 340K sub-8K-tokentrajectories followed by 200RLsteps. The resulting model, SU-01, supports stable reasoning on difficult problems with trajectories exceeding 100Ktokens, while achieving gold-medal-level performance on mathematical and physical olympiad competitions, including IMO 2025/USAMO 2026 and IPhO 2024/2025. It also demonstrates strong generalization of scientific reasoning to domains beyond mathematics and physics.
