Qwen-7B (Alibaba) was released on Sep 28, 2023. In the Epoch AI capability ranking (ECI), it ranks #231 out of 267 models, with 106.91. Against models of the same generation, its best result is on ARC (AI2): 75.3%, #10 of 42.
Where Qwen-7B stands out and where it falls behind, by the numbers
Qwen-7B has published results on 7 tests compiled by Epoch AI. The yardstick here is its generation: its position among the models released between Jan 1, 2023 and Dec 27, 2023 that took the same test. Against the whole archive, which includes 2023 models, a recent release lands near the top of almost everything, and that says nothing.
Where it stands out
Tests where it sits in the top third of its own generation.
Where it falls behind
Tests where it sits in the bottom half of its own generation.

What is Qwen-7B best at?
Against models of the same generation (released up to 9 months before and up to 3 months after it), the best relative results of Qwen-7B are: ARC (AI2) (#10 of 42). The yardstick is its position among the models of that period that took the same test.
Where do the numbers on this page come from?
From the same three sources as the ranking, all openly licensed: Epoch AI (ECI and individual tests, CC BY 4.0), Arena (human-preference ELO, CC BY 4.0) and LiveBench (overall average, CC BY-SA 4.0). ROO3 does not measure any model. When the page shows a figure published by the maker itself, it appears in the written analysis, labeled as the maker's, and never enters the ranking.
