The Qwen team has released the Qwen2 technical report, introducing a new series of large language models ranging from 0.5 to 72 billion parameters, including both dense and Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures.

  • The flagship Qwen2-72B base model achieves scores of 84.2 on MMLU, 89.5 on GSM8K, and 64.6 on HumanEval.
  • The instruction-tuned Qwen2-72B-Instruct variant reaches 9.1 on MT-Bench and 35.7 on LiveCodeBench.
  • Models are trained on over 7 trillion tokens and support approximately 30 languages.
  • Weights are openly available on Hugging Face and ModelScope for community use.

The release aims to provide high-performance foundational models that compete with proprietary systems while remaining accessible for research and deployment.
