From the model card

What 01-ai says about Yi-1.5-32K

Read the model card

Yi-1.5 is an upgraded version of Yi. It is continuously pre-trained on Yi with a high-quality corpus of 500B tokens and fine-tuned on 3M diverse fine-tuning samples.

Compared with Yi, Yi-1.5 delivers stronger performance in coding, math, reasoning, and instruction-following capability, while still maintaining excellent capabilities in language understanding, commonsense reasoning, and reading comprehension.
