Alibaba Tongyi DeepResearch 30B A3B

Tongyi DeepResearch 30B A3B by Alibaba excels in the Coding category, where it ranks #62 with a composite score of 82/100. 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 optimized 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. It is particularly strong in areas highlighted by its top benchmark performance and adoption metrics, making it suitable for both individual developers and enterprise teams looking for a reliable coding solution.
