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-Coder-7B-Instruct is a 7-billion-parameter code-specialized model from Alibaba, released in November 2024 as part of the Qwen2.5-Coder family, trained on a curated corpus spanning 92 programming languages with emphasis on code generation, debugging, and fill-in-the-middle completion. Built on the Qwen2.5 architecture, it extends the base series' improvements in instruction-following and long-context handling to coding-specific tasks within a compact deployable footprint. It became popular for integration into IDE extensions, CI pipelines, and self-hosted code assistant tools.
