Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba released a new version of its artificial intelligence model which it claims surpasses DeepSeek's AI model across various benchmarks.

In a statement, Alibaba's cloud unit introduced the new version of its Qwen large language model, known as Qwen2.5 Max.

The company stated that Quen2.5 Max "achieves competitive performance against the top-tier models," referencing those from OpenAI, DeepSeek and Meta, based on benchmark tests it conducted.

Alibaba's announcement comes after Chinese AI startup DeepSeek sparked a market frenzy earlier in the week with the release of its latest AI model.

DeepSeek says its AI model boasts comparable problem-solving abilities to OpenAI's GPT-4o reasoning model while operating at a fraction of the cost per use.
