The wind of the world has changed!
2025 is about to end in a little more than a month. In the past ten months, many people have not realized one thing: in the field of AI technology, the direction of the world now depends on China.
As the end of the year approaches, we have made another big move. Today, the public test version of Alibaba Qwen app was officially launched, and it can be used for free in China. This APP, which Alibaba is fully entering the AI to C market, demonstrates the huge promotion of the Chinese application ecosystem, such as achieving application landing in multiple fields like e-commerce and finance. For example, map, food delivery, shopping, ticket booking, office, learning, and health in the Alibaba ecosystem will be gradually integrated into Qwen App, allowing the productivity progress brought by AI to radiate to all aspects of production and life.
Plus the popularity of the Qwen model globally, the world will be directed towards Chinese AI models. The data is real. The number of derivative models of Alibaba Qwen has exceeded 170,000, surpassing the American Llama model and becoming the world's first AI open-source model. At the same time, Qwen has over 600 million downloads globally and remains the top in the world.
In addition, Li Fei-Fei, an AI expert from Stanford University, pointed out in a report that the performance gap between the top AI large models of China and the United States has been significantly reduced to 0.3%, approaching being eliminated. Among them, the contribution of Alibaba's important models ranks third globally.
Evidently, in the field of AI professional research, China's large model strength is becoming increasingly prominent. In practical applications, industry leaders have already sensed the change in the wind.
Horace (Nvidia CEO) said in a financial conference call that the open-source AI model from China, Qwen, is the best among open-source AI models, and when Nvidia was developing its own large model, it chose Alibaba's open-source model.
The founder of Airbnb stated that the company is "heavily relying on Alibaba's Qwen model" and frankly said, "better and cheaper than OpenAl."
Certainly, there are a lot of companies in the United States that recognize Alibaba's Qwen, but more people see the challenge of China's tremendous technological advancement. They see Alibaba Qwen's strong application capabilities and the promotion of the Chinese application ecosystem.
Therefore, the United States has urgently promoted the "ATOM plan," aiming to establish a non-profit AI laboratory and use the method of opening up for free to block the development of Chinese AI.
Unfortunately, ideals are full, but reality is bony.
It is already impossible for them to stop the rise of Chinese AI, because before promoting the public test of Qwen, Alibaba did a lot of systematic work, accumulated powerful strength, and let Alibaba's open-source large model move ahead of Silicon Valley.
A drop of water can wear through a stone, not in a day. It is already difficult for Americans to block the rise of Chinese AI!
