Alibaba has announced that it will release the Qwen Max AI model with public weights next week. The move places the Chinese tech giant in closer competition with leading American models like Claude and ChatGPT, although it reportedly still lags in coding abilities. The Qwen Max is part of Alibaba’s flagship model line, focusing on tasks such as coding, reasoning, and agentic operations. Despite its release, the model’s current standing on AI benchmarks indicates it remains behind its American counterparts.
