Thomson Reuters launched an LLM trained on 175 years of its own data
Open originalZach Moskow reported that Thomson Reuters launched Thomson, an LLM that starts with Qwen3.5-397B and is continually trained on 175 years of proprietary legal, tax, accounting, and news data. He said the company spent $40 million, and that Safe Sign, a legal-AI startup it bought two years ago, built the model. Thomson Reuters' published benchmarks claim it is comparable to Claude Opus 4.8 and ahead of GPT-5.5, Claude Sonnet 5, and Gemini 3.1 Pro overall. Those rankings are the company's claim, not an independent evaluation.
Kalpa TTS Beta v0.1 ranks No.

The post says it ranks ahead of Microsoft's MAI-Voice-2 and ElevenLabs' Eleven v3 Conversational, and behind Bland Speech v3.
