Ali is not playing fair, and once again, it has launched a "surprise attack" in the AI industry, catching Western technology off guard!
Over the past few years, Western media should be quite upset. Because before, the direction of technology was followed by the world from Europe and the United States. But now, the wind of global technology is starting to shift towards China.
First, well-known foreign enterprises such as BMW and SAP have cooperated with Chinese Alibaba. Then, Huang Renxun explicitly stated that Qwen is a top-tier model and saw the potential of China's AI development, actively moving towards the Chinese market.
It was thought that technological cooperation was the strongest strength that Chinese AI could show globally. However, the foreign media never expected that Alibaba would throw another "big bomb," launching its strongest open-source AI programming model - Qwen3-Coder. It even surpasses GPT4.1, which is well known. The strength can be imagined. Now, the strongest programming model in the world is Claude4 from the West, but the Qwen3 programming model can match it evenly.
Moreover, the amazing aspect of this model is that it can turn a novice programmer into a senior one in an instant, increasing production efficiency tenfold and writing programs with great creativity.
Notably, this model is very practical and significantly improves production efficiency. For example, Alibaba's Tongyi Lingma is widely used by well-known airlines such as China Life Insurance, Eastern Airlines, Southern Airlines, and new energy vehicle companies like NIO. The programming code model is gradually penetrating into enterprises and becoming an important tool for improving productivity.
This major model with significant international influence is not the first time Alibaba has released. Data shows that since August 2023, Tongyi has launched dozens of different types of large models, from Qwen, Qwen1.5, Qwen2, Qwen2.5 to Qwen3, covering over 300 open-source models including large language models, multimodal models, mathematical models, code models, and hybrid reasoning models.
Additionally, the global download count of the Qwen series programming models has exceeded 20 million times, making it the most popular open-source programming model worldwide.
As the saying goes, Rome was not built in a day. The current strength of Alibaba's large models was not achieved overnight, but through long-term technical accumulation and extensive efforts, step by step reaching today's position.
This fully proves two points: first, Alibaba's strength in AI large models is no small feat, surprising many people; secondly, it also proves that China's large models are among the best in the world. With this momentum, China's AI technology will surely be unstoppable in the future!
