Alibaba unveils Qwen3, a family of ‘hybrid’ AI reasoning models - Kyle Wiggers, Tech Crunch

of AI models that the company claims can match and, in some cases, outperform the best models available from Google and OpenAI. Most of the models are — or soon will be — available for download under an “open” license on AI dev platform Hugging Face and GitHub. They range in size from 0.6 billion parameters to 235 billion parameters. (Parameters roughly correspond to a model’s problem-solving skills, and models with more parameters generally perform better than those with fewer parameters.)
