China’s growing influence in AI is evident as companies like DeepSeek, Alibaba, and Moonshot AI are challenging the traditional dominance of US tech giants

Two days after the release of DeepSeek-R1, TikTok owner ByteDance released an update to its flagship AI model, which it claimed outperformed Microsoft-backed OpenAI's o1 in AIME, a benchmark test that measures how well AI models understand and respond to complex instructions.

Max, an upgraded AI model it claims outperforms OpenAI's GPT-40, DeepSeek-V3, and Meta's Llama-3.1-405B, reported Yahoo! Finance.

Chinese tech company Alibaba released a new version of the Qwen 2.5 artificial intelligence model that surpasses DeepSeek's latest model.

Alibaba claims that its new AI model, Qwen 2.5 Max, demonstrates superior performance over competitors like Meta’s Llama and DeepSeek’s V3. This development highlights the fierce competition among Chinese tech firms,

Alibaba has launched a new version of its AI model, Qwen2.5 Max, claiming it performed better than DeepSeek's AI, OpenAI's GPT-4o and Meta's Llama.

The AI race gets frantic as Alibaba throws down a challenge at DeepSeek just days after ByteDance launches its own new AI model.

Alibaba says the latest version of its Qwen 2.5 artificial intelligence model can take on fellow Chinese firm DeepSeek's V3 as well as the top models from U.S. rivals OpenAI and Meta.

DeepSeek, a 20-month-old startup founded in Alibaba’s home city, Hangzhou, became a global sensation this week and figures prominently as the first benchmark that Alibaba appears to measure itself against. Alibaba Cloud also shared scores that suggest its AI beats OpenAI and Anthropic’s models in certain benchmarks.

Alibaba's introduction of Qwen 2.5 Max comes as a strategic response to the rise of DeepSeek. The latter recently launched the powerful R1 model, which has created quite a stir in the tech world for being cost-effective and energy efficient than its rivals.
