Alibaba, the Chinese tech company, has launched its own AI that it claims is more powerful than the DeepSeek model that sent shockwaves around the world.
The new version of the Qwen 2.5 system was released on Wednesday: not only days after the viral success of DeepSeek’s system, but also the beginning Lunar New Year, when most Chinese people are not at work. That was likely a demonstration of the frenzied rush to produce powerful new systems within China as well as outside of it, experts said.
