Tongyi DeepResearch 30B A3B

alibaba/tongyi-deepresearch-30b-a3b

Tongyi DeepResearch 30B A3B is an agentic large language model from Alibaba's Tongyi Lab, purpose-built for long-horizon, multi-step information-seeking and web research tasks. It uses a Mixture-of-Experts architecture with 30.5B total parameters but only 3.3B activated per token, keeping inference costs low. The model achieves state-of-the-art results across agentic research benchmarks, scoring 32.9 on Humanity's Last Exam, 43.4 on BrowseComp, 70.9 on GAIA, 75.0 on xbench-DeepSearch, and 90.6 on FRAMES — outperforming OpenAI o3 and DeepSeek-V3.1 on most of these tasks. It supports a 128K context window and two inference modes: a standard ReAct mode and a heavier iterative research mode for maximum performance. Best suited for developers building autonomous research agents, deep fact-finding pipelines, or complex multi-source synthesis workflows — especially where cost efficiency matters.
