MODEL-ATTRIBUTED EVIDENCE

News tied to Qwen2 0.5B Instruct

The model score of 35.4 rates this model's risk profile. The overall Doom Index of 67.9 measures the complete temporally weighted evidence record. These values answer different questions.

NET MODEL-ATTRIBUTED INDEX CONTRIBUTION+0.01

Each article's current Doom Index contribution is divided equally among the exact models named on that article. This prevents multi-model evidence from being claimed in full on several model pages. Model risk scores use a bounded temporal offset around their technical profile, but never feed back into the overall index.

Capability TOWARD

Alibaba releases ten Qwen2 base and instruction models

Alibaba Cloud released Qwen2 weights spanning 0.5B to 72B parameters, including a 57B mixture-of-experts tier, with base and instruction variants and permissive commercial access for most sizes.
