Alibaba Group Holding<\/a> continues to scale up its artificial intelligence<\/a> efforts with the release of its biggest AI model to date, joining the ranks of OpenAI, Google DeepMind and other major players with trillion-parameter models.<\/p>\n

Qwen-3-Max-Preview, the company\u2019s first model to have more than 1 trillion parameters, was released on Alibaba\u2019s official cloud-services platform and the large language model marketplace OpenRouter on Friday.<\/p>\n

The model is the latest in the Hangzhou-based company\u2019s Qwen3 series, first released in May, which initially consisted of models ranging from 600 million to 235 billion parameters. Alibaba owns the South China Morning Post.<\/p>\n

Parameters are the variables that encode an AI system\u2019s \u201cintelligence\u201d and are adjusted during the training process. Generally, a higher number of parameters means stronger capabilities, although it also means more computational power is needed to train and run the model.<\/p>\n

OpenAI<\/a>\u2019s GPT-4.5, widely believed to be one of the industry\u2019s biggest models, has an estimated parameter count of 5 to 7 trillion.<\/p>\n

According to Alibaba, Qwen-3-Max-Preview is a text-only model that outperformed its previous \u201cbest\u201d model, the Qwen3-235B-A22B-2507 released in July, on internal tests.<\/p>\n

It also published scores suggesting that the model had bested MoonShot AI\u2019s Kimi K2<\/a>, a non-reasoning version of Anthropic<\/a>\u2019s Claude Opus 4 and DeepSeek<\/a> V3.1 on five benchmarks, although these were not released as part of an official technical report for the model.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alibaba Group Holding continues to scale up its artificial intelligence efforts with the release of its biggest AI…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9344,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[365,11755,619,8191,8180,6166,363,364,11750,11754,11752,7708,11751,8870,11753,11749,111,139,69,620,145],"class_list":{"0":"post-9343","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-ai-infrastructure-investments","10":"tag-alibaba","11":"tag-alibaba-cloud","12":"tag-alibaba-group-holding","13":"tag-anthropic","14":"tag-artificial-intelligence","15":"tag-artificialintelligence","16":"tag-binyuan-hui","17":"tag-chinese-english-text-understanding","18":"tag-claude-opus","19":"tag-deepseek","20":"tag-google-deepmind","21":"tag-hangzhou","22":"tag-hugging-face","23":"tag-kimi-k2","24":"tag-new-zealand","25":"tag-newzealand","26":"tag-nz","27":"tag-openai","28":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9343","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9343"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9343\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9344"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9343"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9343"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9343"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
