About Phi-2
We are now releasing Phi-2, a 2.7 billion-parameter language model that demonstrates outstanding reasoning and language understanding capabilities, showcasing state-of-the-art performance among base language models with less than 13 billion parameters. On complex benchmarks Phi-2 matches or outperforms models up to 25x larger, thanks to new innovations in model scaling and training data curation.
With its compact size, Phi-2 is an ideal playground for researchers, including for exploration around mechanistic interpretability, safety improvements, or fine-tuning experimentation on a variety of tasks. We have made Phi-2 available in the Azure AI Studio model catalog to foster research and development on language models.

DeepScaleR
DeepScaleR is a 1.5-billion-parameter language model fine-tuned from DeepSeek-R1-Distilled-Qwen-1.5B using distributed reinforcement learning and a novel iterative context-lengthening strategy that gradually increases its context window from 8K to 24K tokens during training. It was trained on ~40,000 carefully curated mathematical problems drawn from competition-level datasets like AIME (1984–2023), AMC (pre-2023), Omni-MATH, and STILL. DeepScaleR achieves 43.1% accuracy on AIME 2024, a roughly 14.3 percentage point boost over the base model, and surpasses the performance of the proprietary O1-Preview model despite its much smaller size. It also posts strong results on a suite of math benchmarks (e.g., MATH-500, AMC 2023, Minerva Math, OlympiadBench), demonstrating that small, efficient models tuned with RL can match or exceed larger baselines on reasoning tasks.

Mistral 7B
Mistral 7B is a 7.3-billion-parameter language model that outperforms larger models like Llama 2 13B across various benchmarks. It employs Grouped-Query Attention (GQA) for faster inference and Sliding Window Attention (SWA) to efficiently handle longer sequences. Released under the Apache 2.0 license, Mistral 7B is accessible for deployment across diverse platforms, including local environments and major cloud services. Additionally, a fine-tuned version, Mistral 7B Instruct, demonstrates enhanced performance in instruction-following tasks, surpassing models like Llama 2 13B Chat.

Phi-3
A family of powerful, small language models (SLMs) with groundbreaking performance at low cost and low latency. Maximize AI capabilities, lower resource use, and ensure cost-effective generative AI deployments across your applications. Accelerate response times in real-time interactions, autonomous systems, apps requiring low latency, and other critical scenarios. Run Phi-3 in the cloud, at the edge, or on device, resulting in greater deployment and operation flexibility. Phi-3 models were developed in accordance with Microsoft AI principles: accountability, transparency, fairness, reliability and safety, privacy and security, and inclusiveness. Operate effectively in offline environments where data privacy is paramount or connectivity is limited. Generate more coherent, accurate, and contextually relevant outputs with an expanded context window. Deploy at the edge to deliver faster responses.

TinyLlama
The TinyLlama project aims to pretrain a 1.1B Llama model on 3 trillion tokens. With some proper optimization, we can achieve this within a span of "just" 90 days using 16 A100-40G GPUs. We adopted exactly the same architecture and tokenizer as Llama 2. This means TinyLlama can be plugged and played in many open-source projects built upon Llama. Besides, TinyLlama is compact with only 1.1B parameters. This compactness allows it to cater to a multitude of applications demanding a restricted computation and memory footprint.
