Alibaba, the Chinese tech giant, released a new version of its AI model and made big claims — notably that it outperforms OpenAI's ChatGPT and the newly ascending DeepSeek.

There’s been an escalation in the generative AI large language model “wars” as Alibaba Qwen 2.5 launched Wednesday. This latest AI salvo from China-based Alibaba is directly aimed at its in-country rival DeepSeek, which launched its own AI--DeepSeek-V3--in December 2024 and its R1 version in mid-January.

Max's release points to the pressure DeepSeek's meteoric rise in the past three weeks has placed on overseas rivals and domestic competition.

Chinese tech company Alibaba released a new version of the Qwen 2.5 artificial intelligence model that surpasses DeepSeek's latest model.

Different research teams have demonstrated jailbreaks against ChatGPT, DeepSeek, and Alibaba’s Qwen AI models.

DeepSeek is just one of many Chinese companies working on AI to make China the world leader in the field by 2030.

Alibaba says the latest version of its Qwen 2.5 artificial intelligence model can take on fellow Chinese firm DeepSeek's V3 as well as the top models from U.S. rivals OpenAI and Meta.

DeepSeek created a humorous rap roasting ChatGPT in Hinglish, leading to a playful exchange between the two AIs. Users found the rap battle hilariously entertaining.

Less than a week after the new artificial intelligence platform DeepSeek sent investors spiraling in the United States, another AI model has popped up in China, claiming to be even better.
