Overview

Yi-Large is a large, proprietary language model developed by the Chinese company 01.AI (零一万物), founded by Kai-Fu Lee. The model was released on 13 May 2024 as a flagship, closed model available via API on the 01.AI platform.

Yi-Large is a dense decoder-only transformer with a 32,768-token context window. It stands out for very strong bilingual Chinese-English performance (with additional support for Spanish, Japanese, German and French, among others) and strong results on Chinese-language tasks: reasoning, math and writing.

At its 2024 launch the model ranked in the top ten of the LMSYS Chatbot Arena, and 01.AI claimed parity with GPT-4 on selected English benchmarks. The model is also tuned for retrieval-augmented (RAG) chat.

Yi-Large belongs to the Yi model family (alongside the open Yi-34B, Yi-Coder and Yi-Lightning, among others). It is a commercial model aimed primarily at the Chinese market and knowledge-search use cases.

Capabilities and applications

Native model capabilities
Language modeling
Ability to predict subsequent tokens and generate coherent natural-language text based on the preceding context.
Category: language
Reasoning
The model's ability to reason logically and solve complex problems.
Category: reasoning
Mathematical reasoning
The model's ability to solve mathematical tasks requiring multi-step reasoning — equations, proofs, combinatorics, geometry, calculus and competition-level problems.
Category: reasoning
Coding
Generating, analysing and modifying code in many programming languages. Covers writing functions, debugging, refactoring, code review, and creating tests. Measured by benchmarks such as HumanEval and SWE-bench.
Category: coding
Multilingual
Competence in many natural languages (from a few to over a hundred): understanding, generation, translation, and code-switching within a single conversation. Frontier models support a wide range of languages with comparable quality.
Category: language
Instruction following
Precisely following instructions contained in the prompt: response format, length, style, constraints (e.g. 'reply in six words'). GPT-5.1 significantly improved this capability compared to GPT-5.
Category: language
