This time, more than 100 open source models are from Alibaba’s Qwen 2.5 series, which is its latest basic large-scale language model released in May.
Like their American counterparts, Chinese technology companies are investing heavily in generative AI and racing to develop strong portfolios and diversify their products.
While competitors such as Baidu and OpenAI have primarily taken a closed-source approach, Alibaba has adopted a hybrid model, investing in both proprietary and open-source development to broaden its range of AI products.
Alibaba said in a statement that its new models range in size from 500 million to 72 billion parameters, variables that determine the capabilities and performance of AI models, are proficient in math and coding, and support more than 29 languages.
These models are designed to meet a wide range of AI applications in various fields such as automotive, gaming, and scientific research.
Alibaba also launched a new text-to-video model on Thursday as part of its unified Wanxiang image generation series, joining a growing list of Chinese technology companies entering this emerging market.
The move puts Alibaba in direct competition with global companies such as OpenAI, which has also shown interest in text-to-video technology.
In August, TikTok owner Bytedance launched its text-to-video app “Jimeng AI” on Apple’s App Store for Chinese users.
