So this is the real face of Chinese AI!

While the world is still asleep, China has quietly rewritten the history of AI. Yesterday morning, Alibaba officially released and open-sourced the next-generation Qwen3 large model of Tongyi Qianwen—Qwen3. At this moment, the global technology map was shaken violently. China is no longer a follower but a leader!

If you talk about performance with parameters, some might say you're bragging. But the chip giants like NVIDIA and Qualcomm see it clearly, and their immediate response speaks the truth.

These high-profile chip giants are scrambling to align with Alibaba Qwen3. As soon as Alibaba Qwen3's open-source model code was uploaded, the lights at Apple's headquarters in the U.S. lit up. Apple machine learning scientist Hanon ran Qwen3's full series of models on M4 MAX at 4 a.m. and posted on Twitter: "MLX (Apple machine learning framework) is the perfect partner for Qwen 3."

Chinese companies always adapt faster when it comes to model releases. Cambricon, Lenovo, Huawei Kunpeng, and others connected to Qwen3 overnight. The speed of China's industrial chain left Western tech companies that were used to playing hardball caught off guard. The game rules have changed completely now.

I saw a good comment from a netizen: ten years ago, we adapted for Android, and today it's Cook and his team debugging Chinese AI frameworks. Isn't this something to be proud of?

Now back to Qwen3, it adopts the most advanced hybrid reasoning model technology, balancing scale and efficiency, comprehensively surpassing all current global open-source models, including DeepSeek-R1 and OpenAI-o1, which are old powerhouses.

In response, an overseas netizen bluntly pointed out that Qwen3 defeated LLaMA-4, which was suspected of "cheating," with its powerful functions. What's more inspiring is that Qwen3 achieved comprehensive dominance in performance with only one-third of the parameter volume. Overnight, China went from being a follower to a leader, breaking through a decade-long technical suppression and industrial misconception.

Looking back at the history of artificial intelligence development, Silicon Valley was once the undisputed power center. From the garage startup myth in California to Silicon Valley capital monopolizing technological standards, the world once looked up to the halo of American technology. However, today, the rise of the East has become a reality. From San Francisco to Hangzhou, from Silicon Valley to the Qiantang River bank, the global AI center is undergoing a historic shift.

Chinese technology, with Qwen3, this epoch-making work, announces to the world: A new era has arrived! More commendable is that Alibaba not only shows technical confidence but also an open spirit. Therefore, after the release of Qwen3, foreign netizens who explored its powerful functions immediately commented in the community that Qwen3, with its open large model that could surpass Google and OpenAI, dealt a heavy blow to the West.

Qwen3 released eight versions at once, covering the entire scale spectrum from 0.6B to 235B, adapting to various application scenarios from mobile devices to supercomputing centers. The 0.6B version is extremely lightweight, easily running on smartphones; the 7B and 14B versions suit medium and small enterprise deployments, flexible and efficient; the 72B, 110B, and 235B versions target national-level scientific research and ultra-large-scale applications, unleashing maximum potential. Moreover, Qwen3 greatly reduces the deployment threshold, requiring only four H20 GPUs to run at full capacity, with memory usage being one-third of similar models!

In the context of chip restrictions and computing power shortages, this undoubtedly lit a beacon of hope for developers worldwide. Alibaba told the world with action: technological innovation should not be the monopoly of capital oligarchs but should belong to everyone who dares to dream, create, and take action!

More profoundly, this time, Chinese technology finally broke the technological blockade set by the West. The U.S. once tried to curb the rise of Chinese artificial intelligence through chip embargoes, algorithm restrictions, and technological encirclement. However, history has proven that blockade only stimulates greater creativity. Under immense pressure, Chinese science and technology workers, relying on self-reliance and independent innovation, not only broke through chip barriers and algorithm barriers but also surpassed the U.S. in the global AI open-source competition. This is a resounding rebuttal to so-called "technological hegemony"!

This time, it's no longer "China has finally done it," but "the world is starting to look to China." From catching up, running side by side, to leading now, Chinese technology proves with strength that true innovative power cannot be stopped by any external pressure. True scientific and technological progress belongs to those nations with dreams, drive, and the spirit of sacrifice!
