A fine-tuned Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct model has outperformed Anthropic's Claude Opus-5 in extracting structured JSON from unstructured text for a specific domain. The smaller Qwen2.5 model achieved a 62% exact match accuracy and a 96.72% field match accuracy, significantly surpassing Claude Opus-5's 0% exact match and 81.81% field match on the same test set. This comparison highlights the effectiveness of domain-specific fine-tuning for smaller models, even against much larger, general-purpose frontier models, while also being more cost-effective and offering greater data control.
