Thomson Reuters has chosen to develop its own language model, named Thomson and based on Alibaba's Qwen, at a cost of approximately $40 million over two years. The best results are achieved when the model has access to proprietary content, particularly Westlaw.

Performance Depends on Access to Internal Content

Performance tests show that the model achieves its best results when it has access to internal content, such as Westlaw. Joel Hron, Chief Technology Officer, emphasizes that the key is not the intelligence itself, but determining which intelligence is relevant to possess.

An Internal Model Based on Qwen

Thomson Reuters has developed an internal language model called Thomson, built from Qwen, Alibaba's model.

A $40 Million Investment Over Two Years for Proprietary AI

The project's cost amounts to approximately $40 million over two years. This choice allows Thomson Reuters to own its AI, rather than renting models offered by OpenAI or Anthropic.
