xAI
Grok 4, released by xAI on July 10, 2025, is a large language model featuring first-principles reasoning and comprehensive multimodal support. It features a 260K token context window and demonstrated strong performance on advanced reasoning and coding benchmarks. Grok 4 targets complex multi-step reasoning tasks, scientific analysis, and agentic workflows via the xAI API.
Alibaba / Qwen
Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct is a 7-billion-parameter open-weight language model from Alibaba's Qwen team, released in September 2024 as part of the Qwen2.5 series trained on 18 trillion tokens with improved code, math, and multilingual coverage. The model delivers significantly stronger instruction-following, structured output generation, and long-context handling compared to its predecessor, supporting 128K context windows in a compact form factor. It became widely adopted as a foundation for fine-tuning, RAG pipelines, and on-device deployment due to its balance of capability and efficiency.
