Alibaba Cloud said Thursday it released the latest version of its large-scale language model after more than 90,000 company deployments.
Alibaba Cloud Chief Technology Officer Zhou Jingren said in a statement that the company has seen “many creative applications of the model across various industries,” including consumer electronics and gaming.
“We look forward to working with customers and developers to seize the tremendous opportunities
The latest wave of generative AI development brings growth opportunities,” Zhou said.
Alibaba Cloud said that its latest version of the unified front-end model, Qwen2.5, “has significant progress in reasoning, code understanding and text understanding compared with its predecessor Qwen2.0.”
Large language models power artificial intelligence applications such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT. They are trained on large amounts of data to produce human-like responses to user prompts.
According to a report in March, the latest Qwen model outperformed OpenAI’s GPT-4 model in language and creative capabilities, but performed poorly in other areas such as knowledge, reasoning and mathematics. analyze Through the large-scale language model evaluation platform OpenCompass.
ChatGPT took the world by storm after its launch in November 2022, and Alibaba released Unified Q&A in April 2023.one Upgraded version released in October Improve your ability to understand complex instructions, copywriting, reasoning, memory, etc.

The company also said it has launched a series of new Qwen models to the open source community and upgraded its generative AI platform Model Studio to provide new AI development resources.
Other Chinese tech giants such as Baidu and Tencent Similar chatbots and AI models have been released amid the explosive demand to generate artificial intelligence. Baidu said in April that the number of users of its Ernie robot had exceeded 200 million since it received public use permission in August.
Generative artificial intelligence is accelerating the development of humanoid robots in China that can help with factory work or the workforce.
