Overview

Athene-V2-Chat-72B is an open-weight LLM that competes on par with GPT-4o across various benchmarks. It is currently ranked as the best open model on Chatbot Arena, where it outperforms GPT-4o-0513 (the highest-ranked GPT-4o model on Arena) in hard and math categories. It also matches GPT-4o-0513 in coding, instruction following, longer queries, and multi-turn conversations.

Trained through RLHF with Qwen-2.5-72B-Instruct as the base model, Athene-V2-Chat-72B excels in chat, math, and coding. Additionally, its sister model, Athene-V2-Agent-72B, surpasses GPT-4o in complex function calling and agentic applications, further extending its capabilities.

Variants

No	Variant	Cortex CLI command
1	Athene-72b	`cortex run athene:72b`
