Alibaba rolls out latest version of its large language model to meet robust AI demand

May 09, 2024 - cnbc.com
Alibaba Cloud has released the latest version of its large language model, Tongyi Qianwen model, Qwen2.5, after more than 90,000 deployments by companies. The new model boasts significant improvements in reasoning, code comprehension, and textual understanding compared to its predecessor, Qwen2.0. Despite these advancements, a March analysis by OpenCompass found that Qwen2.5 performed better than OpenAI's GPT-4 model in language and creation capabilities, but fell short in areas like knowledge, reasoning, and math.

Alibaba Cloud also revealed that over 2.2 million corporate users have accessed Qwen-powered AI services such as DingTalk. The company has launched a series of new Qwen models to the open-source community and upgraded its generative AI platform, Model Studio, with new AI development resources. Other Chinese tech giants like Baidu and Tencent have also released similar chatbots and AI models in response to the growing demand for generative AI.
