Analysts say China’s AI investment is just beginning to pay off, with more firms expected to launch their own models soon.

Alibaba Cloud, the cloud computing arm of China’s Alibaba Group Ltd., has released its latest breakthrough artificial intelligence large language model just in time for the Chinese New Year: Qwen 2.5-Max, which it claims surpasses today’s most powerful AI models.

Alibaba Group Holding released on Wednesday an upgraded version of its Qwen artificial intelligence (AI) model, which it said "comprehensively outperformed" in certain benchmark tests DeepSeek-V3, the large language model (LLM) launched in December by China's hottest start-up.

Alibaba announced a new version of its Qwen 2.5 artificial intelligence model on Wednesday, the first day of the Lunar Year in China. The Chinese tech company argued that Qwen 2.5 surpassed the highly-acclaimed DeepSeek-V3.
