Alibaba Unveils Qwen AI, Claiming Superiority Over DeepSeek and ChatGPT
On January 29, 2025, Alibaba Group announced the release of its latest artificial intelligence model, Qwen 2.5-Max and more (an AI-powered Chatbot), asserting that it surpasses the performance of DeepSeek-V3, a prominent large language model (LLM) introduced in December by a leading Chinese AI startup Moonshot AI.
According to Alibaba Cloud, the company’s cloud computing and AI division, Qwen 2.5-Max not only outperformed DeepSeek-V3 but also demonstrated superior results compared to OpenAI’s GPT-4o and Meta Platforms’ Llama-3.1-405B in benchmark tests conducted on platforms such as Arena-Hard and LiveBench.
This development is part of Alibaba’s ongoing efforts to advance its AI capabilities.
In September 2024, the company expanded its AI initiatives by releasing over 100 new open-source AI models and introducing text-to-video technology, aiming to enhance applications across various industries, including automotive, gaming, and scientific research.
The release of Qwen 2.5-Max signifies Alibaba’s commitment to strengthening its position in the competitive AI landscape that’s changing hands everyday, and particularly in the category of large language models and generative AI.
