Large language models (LLMs) have transformed the landscape of artificial intelligence by enabling natural language processing tasks that were once considered exclusive to humans. In this groundbreaking work, the authors introduce Qwen, the inaugural model in their large language model series. Qwen is a comprehensive series comprising various models with different parameter counts, including the base pretrained language model and Qwen-Chat, chat models fine-tuned using human alignment techniques. The base language models consistently exhibit exceptional performance across a wide range of downstream tasks, while the chat models, particularly those trained with Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF), demonstrate high competitiveness. These chat models showcase advanced tool-use and planning capabilities for developing agent applications, showcasing remarkable performance even when compared to larger models on intricate tasks such as utilizing a code interpreter. Moreover, the authors have developed specialized coding models like Code-Qwen and Code-Qwen-Chat, as well as mathematics-focused models like Math-Qwen-Chat. These specialized models are built upon the foundation of base language models and exhibit significantly improved performance compared to open-source alternatives, albeit slightly trailing behind proprietary models. The technical report delves into specific aspects such as training details, evaluation methodologies, data formats for QWEN-CHAT, analysis of code interpreters, and related work in the field. The report also highlights the significance of LLMs in shaping the future of AI and emphasizes their potential in revolutionizing various domains through enhanced natural language processing capabilities.

Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the field of artificial intelligence, enabling natural language processing tasks that were previously thought to be exclusive to humans. In this work, we introduce Qwen, the first installment of our large language model series. Qwen is a comprehensive language model series that encompasses distinct models with varying parameter counts. It includes Qwen, the base pretrained language models, and Qwen-Chat, the chat models finetuned with human alignment techniques. The base language models consistently demonstrate superior performance across a multitude of downstream tasks, and the chat models, particularly those trained using Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF), are highly competitive. The chat models possess advanced tool-use and planning capabilities for creating agent applications, showcasing impressive performance even when compared to bigger models on complex tasks like utilizing a code interpreter. Furthermore, we have developed coding-specialized models, Code-Qwen and Code-Qwen-Chat, as well as mathematics-focused models, Math-Qwen-Chat, which are built upon base language models. These models demonstrate significantly improved performance in comparison with open-source models, and slightly fall behind the proprietary models.
