Training Gemma-3 for Structured Mathematical Reasoning with Tunix GRPO, LoRA Adapters, and GSM8K Rewards

This tutorial demonstrates how to train Gemma-3, an AI language model, to solve math problems by using reinforcement learning techniques including GRPO (a training method), LoRA adapters (lightweight weight adjustments), and custom reward functions. The training workflow teaches the model to structure its responses with explicit reasoning sections followed by numeric answers on GSM8K math problems. The approach matters because it shows how to improve an AI model's mathematical reasoning while keeping computational costs manageable by only updating adapter weights rather than the entire model. The tutorial requires familiarity with machine learning concepts like reinforcement learning, model training, and the ability to set up a development environment with specific libraries like JAX and Tunix.
