Alibaba Unveils New AI Model Qwen2.5, Claims It Outperforms DeepSeek-V3
Alibaba has introduced Qwen2.5-Max, a new AI model that it claims performs better than DeepSeek-V3 in key benchmarks.
The model is available via API on Alibaba Cloud and integrated into Qwen Chat, allowing users to generate images and videos.
Qwen2.5-Max uses a cost-effective MoE (Mixture of Experts) approach, reducing infrastructure costs by 40-60%.
Alibaba’s new model challenges top AI models like GPT-4o and Llama-3.1-405B. Its efficiency and strong performance in coding and reasoning suggest that AI advancements can be achieved without massive GPU clusters, making AI development more accessible and cost-effective.

Goose can assist with software development tasks like debugging and code modification.
It supports multiple LLMs, including OpenAI, Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and Gemini.
The AI agent integrates with popular developer tools like GitHub and Google Drive.
Goose aligns with Jack Dorsey’s vision of open-source AI and provides developers with more control over their workflows. It can be deployed on local devices or cloud services, ensuring privacy and flexibility while automating time-consuming coding tasks.
