Alibaba Tongyi Deepresearch 30B A3B, developed by Alibaba, features 30B parameters and 131k-token context window. Tongyi DeepResearch is an agentic large language model developed by Tongyi Lab, with 30 billion total parameters activating only 3 billion per token. It's optimised for long-horizon, deep information-seeking tasks and delivers state-of-the-art performance on benchmarks like Humanity's Last Exam, BrowserComp, BrowserComp-ZH, WebWalkerQA, GAIA, xbench-DeepSearch, and FRAMES. This makes it superior for complex agentic search, reasoning, and multi-step problem-solving compared to prior models. The model includes a fully automated synthetic data pipeline for scalable pre-training, fine-tuning, and reinforcement learning. It uses large-scale continual pre-training on diverse agentic data to boost reasoning and stay fresh. It also features end-to-end on-policy RL with a customized Group Relative Policy Optimization, including token-level gradients and negative sample filtering for stable training. The model supports ReAct for core ability checks and an IterResearch-based 'Heavy' mode for max performance through test-time scaling. It's ideal for advanced research agents, tool use, and heavy inference workflows. Priced affordably at $0.09/1M tokens.
