While the markets are still digesting the AI earthquake that Deepseek has brought with it, the IT giant Alibaba surprisingly follows up in the race for AI dominance.
• Alibaba is launching a new AI model with QWEN 2.5
• supposedly more powerful than Chatgpt and Deepseek
• Surprising release date
Just two days ago, the publication of the AI assistant Deepseek caused faults on the US tech market. Now another headwind from Asia for Nvidia & Co. – and the model, which is favored in the USA and supported by Microsoft, is threatened with Chatgpt: With Alibaba, another big player has entered the race.
Supposedly better than Deepseek
The Chinese technology company Alibaba has published a new version of its artificial intelligence model QWEN 2.5. The time for the publication is quite surprising, as Reuters emphasizes: Qwen 2.5-Max on the first day of the Chinese New Year to throw on the market when most Chinese are working-free and with their families, the pressure that the comet The news agency has not only exercised the Chinese Ki startups Deepseek in the past three weeks not only to its foreign competitors, but also to its domestic competition.
In fact, the Alibaba model Deepseek and Chatgpt should even be superior: “Qwen 2.5-Max … almost consistently GPT-4O, Deepseek-V3 and Llama-3.1-405b,” wrote the cloud unit of Alibaba in an announcement on officials Wechat account.
Price war ahead?
The early versions of Deepseek had already led to a price war among manufacturers of AI models in China. With the latest Deepseek model, this development could continue and possibly also spread to the USA and strengthen the pressure on Openai, the developer of Chatgpt.
The fact that Alibaba accelerates in the race for a lead in artificial intelligence is rewarded with course surcharges on the market: the alibaba share finally increased by $ 96.72 in the NYSE trade.
