This might be the biggest AI plot twist of 2025.
Alibaba has just unveiled Tongyi DeepResearch, a 30B-parameter agentic model that outperforms GPT-4 and DeepSeek-V3 in deep research, while activating only 3.3B parameters at runtime.
• Fully open-source.
• Trained on just 2 H100s.
The secret? A new agentic mid-training phase, where the model learns to reason, plan, and utilize tools before fine-tuning. Instead of predicting the next token, it learns to think like an agent.
All synthetic data. 32K+ token samples. 10+ tool calls per task.
At @spheron, we see this as the future, where compute efficiency, not compute dominance alone, defines the next era of AI. With decentralized, on-demand GPU access, breakthroughs like this can happen anywhere, not just inside trillion-dollar data centers.
The future of AI is open, efficient, and powered by the people.
