libaba has unveiled Qwen 2.5-Max, a new AI model that it claims surpasses DeepSeek-V3, OpenAI’s GPT-4o, and Meta’s Llama-3.1-405B across multiple benchmarks. The release, made on the first day of the Lunar New Year, underscores the growing competition among Chinese AI developers.
DeepSeek, a rising AI startup, has disrupted both domestic and international markets with its recent AI models, prompting rivals like Alibaba and ByteDance to accelerate their advancements. The affordability and open-source nature of DeepSeek-V2, released last May, triggered a price war in China, leading Alibaba and others to significantly reduce AI service costs.
Despite intense competition, DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng has downplayed concerns over pricing, emphasizing the company's focus on achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI). With a lean research-driven approach, DeepSeek is positioning itself as a formidable challenger to China’s tech giants in the race for AI supremacy.
