Large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the field of artificial intelligence, enabling natural language processing tasks that were previously thought to be exclusive to humans. In this work, we introduce Qwen, the first installment of our large language model series. Qwen is a comprehensive language model series that encompasses distinct models with varying parameter counts. It includes Qwen, the base pretrained language models, and Qwen-Chat, the chat models finetuned with human alignment techniques. The base language models consistently demonstrate superior performance across a multitude of downstream tasks, and the chat models, particularly those trained using Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF), are highly competitive. The chat models possess advanced tool-use and planning capabilities for creating agent applications, showcasing impressive performance even when compared to bigger models on complex tasks like utilizing a code interpreter. Furthermore, we have developed coding-specialized models, Code-Qwen and Code-Qwen-Chat, as well as mathematics-focused models, Math-Qwen-Chat, which are built upon base language models. These models demonstrate significantly improved performance in comparison with open-source models, and slightly fall behind the proprietary models. 2023: Jinze Bai, Shuai Bai, Yunfei Chu, Zeyu Cui, Kai Dang, Xiaodong Deng, Yang Fan, Wenhang Ge, Yu Han, Fei Huang, Binyuan Hui, Luo Ji, Mei Li, Junyang Lin, Runji Lin, Dayiheng Liu, Gao Liu, Chengqiang Lu, K.

From March 13, 2018: Comedian Jimmy O. Yang called in for a fun conversation about his book How to American: An Immigrant's Guide to Disappointing Your Parents.ABOUT JIMMY O. YANGJimmy O. Yang is an actor, stand-up comedian, and writer best known for his portrayal of Jian Yang on HBO's Emmy-nominated series Silicon Valley and his dramatic turn opposite Mark Wahlberg in the highly acclaimed film Patriot's Day. Born in Hong Kong, Yang moved to Los Angeles when he was thirteen, where he eventually made his television debut on the CBS series 2 Broke Girls and his first late-night stand-up appearance on The Arsenio Hall Show, where he received a rare standing ovation. He lives in Los Angeles.

Like a lot of kids, Anurag Sakharkar used to dream about being a doctor, or an astronaut. His parents, both academics, encouraged him to follow his dream.   In high school, he began spending evenings and weekends working at the University of Saskatchewan's biomedical labs, perfecting advanced research methods, western blots and PCR analysis . He began learning about Parkinson's disease with Dr. Changiz Taghibiglou, then started examining novel cancer treatment approaches with Dr. Franco Vizeacoumar.   The Covid-19 pandemic brought Anu's in-person laboratory time to an abrupt halt. Undeterred, he began to spend his nights poring over gene expression data, using computational analysis to identify patterns.   “We integrated all these different methods and looked at the genome coordination as a whole,” said Anu. “What important pathways are involved, and how do they connect and interact at the DNA, protein, and RNA levels?”   His curiosity spread from analyzing biomarkers in cancer cells — to learning more about the dramatic changes occurring in an astronaut's body during space flight.   Astronauts lose bone density and muscle mass in space. They endure neurological degeneration, renal and cardiovascular dysfunction, compromised immunity, and upon their return to earth they have a far higher risk of developing cancer. Anu noticed a more large-scale inherent change in these astronauts in his research.   “You see gene correlation and coordination breaking down all over the entire genome,” said Anu. “You have a huge systemic trauma that's occurring in these astronauts when they go into space.”   Together with Dr. Jian Yang from the College of Pharmacy and Nutrition, Anu started analyzing astronaut gene expression data gathered in NASA's open-source GeneLab. It tracked eight men and two women posted to the International Space Station for a six-month period, including pre-flight, inflight, and postflight measurements.   Anu developed a novel expression analysis method, and has now identified 32 genes with outsized effects on astronauts' health as possible candidates for biomarkers to characterize, monitor, and even treat health issues.   In February, his research was published in Life. With support from the University of Saskatchewan President's NSERC Research Fund, it also formed a partial basis of Anu's honours thesis as he completes his final undergraduate year this spring, majoring in Cellular Physiology and Pharmacology.   He's developed partnerships with universities around the world, along with NASA, the Canadian Space Agency, and private space bioscience companies.   “Space is definitely humanity's future,” Anu said. “That future is getting closer and closer."

Despite the threat of being in contempt of Parliament, Government Statistician Liz MacPherson says now is not the time to release some information about the 2018 Census.MacPherson has twice refused to provide Parliament's governance and administration committee with the number of partially and fully completed responses to the 2018 Census.The National Party's statistics spokesman Jian Yang called it an "extraordinary stand-off" but MacPherson said that without context, the numbers would be open to misinterpretation.Yang told the Weekend Collective that MacPherson has refused twice to answer the committee's question twice."It is important for us to know some basic information about Census 2018, as one of the key responsibilities of the committee is to ensure our government agencies are working properly."He says that the Census was botched and "is a shambles", and they need to know how bad it was. Yang says the participation rate was the lowest ever, with around 90 per cent of people taking part. "Over 400,000 people were not counted in the Census."MacPherson has instead intended announcing at the end of April when Statistics New Zealand would release the first set of results for the Census."It is my hope that the committee will appreciate that I have made this determination after careful thought and application of statistical best practice," MacPherson said in a statement.According to Stats NZ's interim calculations, around 10 per cent of New Zealanders didn't fill out their Census forms, resulting in the lowest participation of the past five surveys.The calculations, released last year, showed that full or partial information for only 90 per cent of individuals was received, compared with 94.5 per cent for the 2013 Census.The low participation has caused a delay in the release of information collected, which was due to be released in October, then March, now on the date yet to be announced.Stats NZ will also have to use other sources of information and different imputation approaches to fill in the missing data.The 2018 Census was the first time Stats NZ used a digital-first approach, which encouraged respondents to complete the census online.MacPherson had told the committee on February 13 that the number was available and would be provided but then declined to provide it, saying it needed more context.She again declined to provide the number when she appeared before the committee last week."The committee has taken the extraordinary step on invoking Standing Orders and requiring an answer," Yang said."Parliament is entitled to know the size of the statistical hole from those who did not participate, as well as those who did not complete Census 2018. The refusal to provide this information is inconsistent with the Government's pledge to be the most open and transparent ever."MacPherson said her announcement at the end of April would outline what would be included in the first release and provide context."In light of the select committee's request, I will be providing information on the breakdown of census forms that were full and partial responses."Stats NZ is an open and transparent organisation. When we produce information for the public we outline the methodology and limitations of any data produced," she said.The select committee's annual review of Statistics NZ, released last week, said it had sought from MacPherson information about the proportion of Census forms that were fully completed."We believe this is important data around the performance of the Census, and that if a large portion were unanswered it would raise concerns about the quality of the Census output, and also about the value for money in the overall expenditure."The committee had formally required her to respond with an answer under Standing Order 227 (2).

Jimmy O. Yang returns. Jimmy was on our show a couple years ago, and his career keeps blowing up. We’d like to think we have something to do with that. But it’s probably the hilarious book How to American: An Immigrant’s Guide to Disappointing Your Parents. Or maybe it’s his character Jian-Yang on HBO’s Silicon Valley, or the roles in The Life of the Party or Crazy Rich Asians. My dude is killing it. He stops by the studio to throw his success in our faces, and shares some amazing stories from the book. Then we make plans to go clubbing and go to Coachella.

Is Deep Dish Pizza actually pizza? A shocking number of people wear their underpants more than once before washing them. The famous UK Chip Butty (French Fries on White Bread) has made it's way to North America. We'll play a legendary round of 5IN7, we celebrate Mocha's birthday, and Jian Yang from Silicon Valley joins us.

Jimmy talks about his new book, coming to America from Hong Kong as a kid, trying to fit in, being good at math, pretending to know karate, his parents who wish he would get a more secure job. A lot of fun and really interesting look at what it's like to move to this country as an immigrant.

Dr Jian Yang is a Professor of Statistical Genomics at Institute for Molecular Bioscience, The University of Queensland (UQ). He joins Yin to share some interesting facts about statistical genetics. Is nature more important than nuture? Where do children get their IQ from? Yang also shared his plans and thoughts on his academic career. - 什么决定孩子的智商？昆士兰大学的人类遗传学教授杨剑说，除了环境、营养、教育等后天因素以外，父母遗传至少有50%的影响。这个结论是他和研究小组通过大数据分析大量人类基因组得出的。研究数量遗传学的杨剑教授用大数据分析研究人类基因组和复杂性状、疾病（比如：身高、肥胖、智商、精神分裂）之间的关联，30多岁就取得了令人瞩目的成绩。欢迎收听杨剑做客欢乐空间分享自己的研究和故事。

You may know Jimmy O. Yang as Jian Yang on Silicon Valley. You’ll surely know him soon from the upcoming movie, Patriot’s Day where he shares the screen with Mark Wahlberg and John Goodman. We know him as a funny ass comedian on YouTube and the Arsenio Hall Show, where he muses about being an Asian dude in America, being broke, and listening to hip hop. Jimmy stops by the Rebel Radio studios to give us some insights into his rapid rise from open mic night to the national touring circuit and now movies and TV. He seems to be keeping his head on straight, for now anyway. We love that Jimmy seems to have no fear and studies his craft relentlessly, whether through acting classes or by soaking up game from other comics and actors. We’ve been in those shoes and we know that the right combination of street knowledge and formal training is where it’s at. He also gives us the cardinal rule of comedy, which we can also apply to just about every other facet of life: Never ask for stage time. Download this episode to find out what he means by that, and so much more. Don't forget to subscribe so you never miss another episode.

Actor and comedian Jimmy O. Yang joins the show to talk about playing Jian Yang on HBO's 'Silicon Valley.' We also discuss some FNL Week afterthoughts, Taylor Swift's bizarre past few weeks, and a weird-ass Ellie Goulding concert. (Interview starts at 32:45)
