Open-source AI models launched by Alibaba
Chinese tech giant Alibaba wants to strengthen its presence in generative AI.
Alibaba pushes forward with AI innovation, launching a wide range of open-source models and text-to-video technology. The Chinese tech giant’s latest release includes over 100 models from its Qwen 2.5 family, offering significant improvements in mathematics, coding, and multilingual support.
These models aim to enhance AI capabilities in various industries, including gaming, automotive, and scientific research. Alibaba has adopted a unique hybrid approach, combining open-source and proprietary methods, setting itself apart from competitors like OpenAI and Baidu.
With model sizes ranging from 0.5 to 72 billion parameters, Alibaba’s AI tools cater to diverse business needs. The company’s text-to-video technology, part of its Tongyi Wanxiang image generation family, positions it as a key player in the expanding text-to-video market.
As competition in AI technology intensifies globally, Alibaba’s new developments could challenge major players such as OpenAI and ByteDance. ByteDance recently launched a text-to-video app for Chinese users on Apple’s App Store, further highlighting the rising interest in this technology.
