Recorded capabilities

RLHF from Qwen 2.5 72B-Instruct

According to the model card, the model was trained through RLHF with Qwen-2.5-72B-Instruct as base model and is described as a chat model.

Qwen2.5 chat template and usage

The model card says Athene-V2-Chat uses the same chat template as Qwen2.5-72B-Instruct and documents Transformers usage with a step-by-step system-prompt note.

Publisher benchmark description

The model card describes the 72B release as on-par with GPT-4o across benchmarks and discusses Chatbot Arena hard, math, coding, and instruction-following categories.

Use cases in the source record

  • Conversational text-generation workflows using the documented Qwen2.5-72B-Instruct-compatible chat template.
  • Chat, math, and coding experiments of the kind described in the publisher model card and Transformers example.

Limitations and unknowns

  • No context-window value was extracted from this record.
  • Provider state is historical snapshot data, not independently refreshed current availability.
  • Benchmark and capability comparisons are publisher claims and were not independently verified by Ethen.

Athene-V2-Chat-72B: Rivaling GPT-4o across Benchmarks Nexusflow HF - Nexusflow Discord - Athene-V2 Blogpost We introduce Athene-V2-Chat-72B, an open-weights LLM on-par with GPT-4o across benchmarks. It is currently the best open model according to Chatbot Arena , where it beats GPT-4o-0513 (the best GPT-4o model on Arena) in hard and math category, and is on-par with GPT-4o-0513 in coding, instruction following, longer query and multi-turn. It is trained through RLHF with Qwen-2.5-72B-Instruct as base model. Athene-V2-Chat-72B excels in chat, math, and coding. Its sister model, Athene-V2-Agent-72B , surpasses GPT-4o in complex funct…
