The Qwen2.5 Technical Report details the release of a comprehensive series of large language models featuring both open-weight dense variants and proprietary mixture-of-experts (MoE) models. The update significantly scales pre-training data from 7 trillion to 18 trillion tokens and employs over 1 million samples for post-training via supervised finetuning and reinforcement learning.

  • Open-weight dense models are available in sizes of 0.5B, 1.5B, 3B, 7B, 14B, 32B, and 72B parameters.
  • Proprietary MoE models Qwen2.5-Turbo and Qwen2.5-Plus are available via Alibaba Cloud Model Studio.
  • The flagship Qwen2.5-72B-Instruct matches the performance of Llama-3-405B-Instruct despite being five times smaller.
  • Context length support increases from 2K to 8K tokens, with Qwen2.5-Turbo supporting up to 1 million tokens.

These improvements aim to provide cost-effective solutions for diverse use cases while maintaining top-tier performance on reasoning, coding, and mathematics benchmarks.
