# Stepwise Supervised Format

Format for datasets with stepwise completions and labels

## Stepwise Supervised

The stepwise supervised format is designed for chain-of-thought (COT) reasoning datasets where each example contains multiple completion steps and a preference label for each step.

### Example

Here’s a simple example of a stepwise supervised dataset entry:

    {
      "prompt": "Which number is larger, 9.8 or 9.11?",
      "completions": [
        "The fractional part of 9.8 is 0.8, while the fractional part of 9.11 is 0.11.",
        "Since 0.11 is greater than 0.8, the number 9.11 is larger than 9.8."
      ],
      "labels": [true, false]
    }
