As a journalist covering the latest developments in the large language modeling ecosystem, I was thrilled to learn that Alibaba Group Holding’s family of large language models (LLMs) has been ranked among the world’s top 10 open-source models. This achievement is a testament to the company’s rapid progress in AI and its strong commitment to open-source development.

According to AI and machine-learning developer platform Hugging Face, Alibaba’s Qwen-72B-Instruct LLM topped the list with an average score of 43.02 across six benchmarks. This Qwen model was trained on 72 billion “parameters” - a machine-learning term for variables present in an AI system during training, which helps establish how data prompts yield the desired output.

“Qwen 72B [Instruct] is the king and Chinese open models are dominating overall,” Hugging Face co-founder and chief executive Clement Delangue said in a post on X, formerly Twitter. This is a significant statement, especially considering that the Tongyi Qianwen large language models, developed and operated by Alibaba Group Holding’s cloud computing unit, are used in industries ranging from consumer electronics to cars and online games.

The Tongyi Qianwen large language models have been adopted by more than 90,000 corporate clients, according to Alibaba Cloud chief technology officer Zhou Jingren. This widespread adoption is a testament to the models’ performance and versatility.
