Alibaba Group Holding's Qwen artificial intelligence (AI) model is powering the world's top 10 open-source large language models (LLMs), according to collaborative machine-learning platform and community Hugging Face.

Stanford’s S1 and Berkeley’s TinyZero are two examples of how researchers are increasingly using Alibaba tech to lower AI training costs.

Researchers from Stanford University and the University of Washington, including Chinese-American “AI godmother” Li Feifei, have recently published their study regarding the training of the S1 reasoning model on the back of Alibaba's Qwen 2.

Apple is required to work with a Chinese AI company to offer Apple Intelligence in the region, and it seems Alibaba was the chosen one.
