The Chinese technology company Alibaba released a new version of the artificial intelligence model on Wednesday (January 29th) and claimed that he left behind Deepseek-V3, which was highly acclaimed. The new version is called QWEN 2.5-Max, an improved model of the QWEN 2.5 artificial intelligence model.
What is QWEN 2.5-Max?
Alibaba, who made an important move in the midst of the increasing competition in the artificial intelligence sector, announced the latest AI model QWEN 2.5-MAX and claimed that he had left behind the Deepseek-V3 model that gained momentum. This announcement was made in a very strategic way after the intensified pressure of Deepseek’s rapid rise in recent weeks on the first day of the Moon New Year, when most Chinese family was on holiday.
According to Alibaba’s official WeChat account, the cloud unit Qwen 2.5-Max, some of the globally existing AI models GPT-4O, Deepseek-V3 and Meta’s Llama-3.1-405b stressed. In the following image, you can find the benchmark sharing made by Alibaba Qwen’s official x account @alibaba_Qwen.
Deepseek’s launch of the AI model series, including the AI assistant supported by Deepseek-V3 and the following R1 model, created shock waves in the Silicon Valley by causing a shaking in technology stock values due to low cost development and use profile. This scenario led to the re -evaluation of investment strategies reflecting concerns about ambitious expenditure plans among the major AI players in the USA.
Two days after the publication of Deepseek-R1, Tiktok owner ByTedance Microsoft released an update in the AI model, which O1, with O1, left behind in AIME. It is a comparison test that measures how well the complex instructions of AIME AI models understand and answer.
Making QWEN 2.5-MAX accessible
In order to make the model more accessible to the global community, Alibaba has integrated Qwen 2.5-Max with the QWEN Chat platform, in which users can interact directly with the model in various capacities, such as discovering users’ search capabilities or testing complex queries.
For developers, the QWEN 2.5-MAX API can now be used under the name “QWEN-MAX-2025-01-25” model via Alibaba Cloud. Interested users can start by saving an Alibaba Cloud account by activating the model Studio service and creating an API switch.
API is compatible with the OpenAI ecosystem and thus facilitates integration for existing projects and workflows. This reduces obstacles for those who want to test compatibility practices with the capabilities of the model. Since QWEN’s APIs are compatible with OpenAI-API, we can directly follow the common application of using OpenAI APIs. Below is an example of the use of QWEN2.5-MAX in Python:
The ongoing commitment to scal the AI models of the Alibaba company is not only about to improve performance criteria, but also to develop the basic thinking and reasoning capabilities of these systems.
The QWEN 2.5-MAX team aims to push the limits of reinforced learning to promote even more advanced reasoning skills. They say that their models can not only match human intelligence, but also to pass it in solving complex problems.
