OpenThinker-Agent-v1-SFT

OpenThoughts-Agent is an open-source effort to curate the best datasets for training agents. Our first release includes datasets, models and our research codebase.

OpenThinker-Agent-v1 is a model trained for agentic tasks such as Terminal-Bench 2.0 and SWE-Bench.

The OpenThinker-Agent-v1 model is post-trained from Qwen/Qwen3-8B. It is SFT-ed on the OpenThoughts-Agent-v1-SFT dataset, then RL-ed on the OpenThoughts-Agent-v1-RL dataset.

This OpenThinker-Agent-v1-SFT model is the model after the SFT stage. For the model after both SFT and RL stages, see OpenThinker-Agent-v1.

OpenThinker-Agent-v1 Model Performance

Our OpenThinker-Agent-v1 model is the state-of-the-art model at its scale on agent benchmarks.

Data

We built OpenThinker-Agent-v1 in two stages: supervised fine-tuning, followed by reinforcement learning. Each stage required its own data pipeline – RL tasks (instructions, environments, and verifiers) and SFT traces from strong teacher agents completing tasks.

OpenThoughts-Agent-v1-SFT is an SFT trace dataset containing approximately 15,200 traces drawn from two different data sources we curate:

• —nl2bash: Simple synthetically generated tasks where the agent has to format shell commands effectively
• —InferredBugs: A set of bugs in C# and Java collected by Microsoft that we turned into tasks

OpenThoughts-Agent-v1-RL is an RL dataset containing ~720 tasks drawn from the nl2bash verified dataset.

To stabilize training, we built a three-stage filtration pipeline that prunes tasks before they ever hit the learner:

1. 1.Bad verifiers filter: drop tasks with flaky or excessively slow verifiers.
2. 2.Environment stability: remove tasks whose containers take too long to build or tear down. Optional difficulty filter: discard tasks that even a strong model (GPT-5 Codex) cannot solve in a single pass.
