On January 28, Chinese tech giant Alibaba released<\/a> a new version of its AI model, Qwen 2.5, which developers claim is more powerful than DeepSeek-V3.<\/p>\n

According to the company’s cloud division, Qwen 2.5-Max surpasses GPT-4o, DeepSeek-V3, and Llama-3.1-405B in nearly all metrics.<\/p>\n

The neural network was trained using over 20 trillion tokens. It is accessible via API<\/span> or through the Qwen Chat chatbot.<\/p>\n

Two days before the release, Alibaba introduced<\/a> a new family of models, Qwen2.5-VL, capable of analyzing text and images. These neural networks can understand videos, files, count objects in images, and operate a computer similarly to OpenAI’s AI agent.<\/p>\n

Benchmark tests indicate that the most powerful neural network, Qwen2.5-VL, outperforms OpenAI’s GPT-4o, Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and Google’s Gemini 2.0 Flash on several criteria.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Miss @Alibaba_Qwen<\/a> 2.5 VL! Despite all the Deepseek Hype, Qwen just dropped the best open Multimodal! Qwen 2.5 VL is a Vision Language Model that can control your computer, similar to the @OpenAI<\/a> operator, extract structured information from charts, and more!!<\/p>\n
