Alibaba has launched over 100 new open-source AI models and a text-to-video technology, enhancing its position in the generative AI market, Reuters reports.
The models, part of Alibaba’s Qwen 2.5 family, range from 0.5 to 72 billion parameters, offering capabilities in mathematics, coding, and support for more than 29 languages. Alibaba is adopting a hybrid strategy that combines proprietary and open-source development, unlike competitors like Baidu and OpenAI, which primarily use closed-source methods. This strategy aims to create a diverse portfolio of AI products across various sectors, including automotive, gaming, and scientific research.
Additionally, Alibaba introduced a text-to-video model, as part of its Tongyi Wanxiang image generation family, positioning it against global players like OpenAI and ByteDance, which recently launched its own text-to-video app, Jimeng AI.
