Summary

  • Alibaba has launched QwenLong-L1, a system that enables large language models (LLMs) to draw conclusions from massive documents.
  • It can be used on legal contracts or detailed corporate filings to extract information and answer questions.
  • The system organises the training of the LLMs into a trilogy of short-context reinforcement learning, warm-up supervised fine-tuning and curriculum-guided phased reinforcement learning, ensuring the models learn to extract and reason step-by-step.
  • Alibaba said the system outperformed similar models from DeepSeek, OpenAI and Google, which have not been trained to deal with as many tokens in one go.
