InternBootcamp: Boosting LLM Reasoning with Verifiable Task Scaling

Abstract:Large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized artificial intelligence by enabling complex reasoning capabilities. While recent advancements in reinforcement learning (RL) have primarily focused on domain-specific reasoning tasks (e.g., mathematics or code generation), real-world reasoning scenarios often require models to handle diverse and complex environments that narrow-domain benchmarks cannot fully capture. To address this gap, we present InternBootcamp, an open-source framework comprising 1000+ domain-diverse task environments specifically designed for LLM reasoning research. With these bootcamps, we further establish Bootcamp-Eval, an automatically generated benchmark for comprehensive performance assessment. Evaluation reveals that frontier models still underperform in many reasoning tasks, while training with InternBootcamp provides an effective way to significantly improve performance, leading to our 32B model that achieves stateof-the-art results on Bootcamp-Eval and excels on other established benchmarks. In particular, we validate that consistent performance gain come from including more training tasks, namely task scaling, over two orders of magnitude, offering a promising route towards capable reasoning generalist. All data and code are publicly available.
