CHAI, the leading social AI platform, continues to push the boundaries of AI research to better serve its global user base. With a relentless focus on model quality, CHAI is at the forefront of benchmarking and deploying the best large language models (LLMs) in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.

As new LLMs emerge weekly, CHAI researchers are actively testing and evaluating the latest models. Notably, the recently released Qwen-2.5-32B has gained attention for claiming superior reasoning capabilities over larger models like DeepSeek-R1, all while using fewer parameters.

Nischay Dhankhar, an AI researcher at CHAI and a 3x Kaggle Grandmaster, quickly recognized the potential of Qwen-2.5-32B and initiated a rigorous internal evaluation. By comparing Qwen-2.5-32B to several earlier models—including Gemma-2-27B, Mistral-3-24B, and Mistral-Nemo-12B—on 10,000 real user preference data points, Nischay found that Qwen-2.5-32B, after supervised fine-tuning (SFT), achieved a significantly higher ELO score, outperforming Gemma-2-27B despite starting from a weaker base model.
