A large language model (LLM) is a type of machine learning model designed for natural language processing tasks such as language generation. LLMs are language models with many parameters, and are trained with self-supervised learning on a vast amount of text.
For the training cost column, 1 petaFLOP-day equals 1 petaFLOP/sec × 1 day, or 8.64×1019 FLOP (floating point operations). Only the cost of the largest model is shown. The number of parameters is measured in billions, and the training cost is measured in petaFLOP-days.

This means 1.5 Pro can process vast amounts of information in one go — including 1 hour of video, 11 hours of audio, codebases with over 30,000 lines of code or over 700,000 words. In our research, we've also successfully tested up to 10 million tokens.
We further enhance Qwen3-Max-Thinking with two key innovations: (1) adaptive tool-use capabilities [...]; and (2) advanced test-time scaling techniques [...]. [...] We limit [parallel trajectories] and redirect saved computation to iterative self-reflection guided by a "take-experience" mechanism.
