Alibaba releases an 'open' challenger to OpenAI's O1 reasoning model
A new, open "reasoning" AI model, QwQ-32B-Preview, has arrived on the scene, developed by Alibaba's Qwen team.
Developed by Alibaba’s Qwen team, QwQ-32B-Preview, which contains 32.5 billion parameters and can consider prompts up ~32,000 words in length, performs better on certain benchmarks than o1-preview and o1-mini, the two reasoning models that OpenAI has released so far. Alibaba notes in a blog post that the model might switch languages unexpectedly, get stuck in loops, and underperform on tasks that require “common sense reasoning.” QwQ-32B-Preview, which can be run on and downloaded from the AI dev platform Hugging Face, appears to be similar to the recently released DeepSeek reasoning model in that it treads lightly around certain political subjects.
