Thomson Reuters published Thomson-1.0-Small on Hugging Face, a domain model for legal and tax work fine-tuned from Qwen3.6-35B-A3B, drawing 163 upvotes on r/LocalLLaMA. The name misleads on size, as several commenters noted expecting a 1B model. The most substantive pushback in the thread argues domain models should be trained to understand how the field works and then aggressively retrieve, rather than baking case and code knowledge into weights that go stale the moment the law changes.
