R1-Code-Interpreter: LLMs Reason with Code via Supervised and Multi-stage Reinforcement Learning

Researchers developed R1-Code-Interpreter, a large language model that uses multi-stage reinforcement learning to autonomously generate code for step-by-step reasoning across diverse tasks. The 14B parameter model achieves 72.4% accuracy on test tasks, outperforming GPT-4o variants and demonstrating emergent self-checking capabilities through code generation.
