Is Alibaba’s QwQ Smarter Than OpenAI?

Alibaba has unveiled a new AI model called Qwen with Questions (QwQ), designed for advanced reasoning tasks, making it a direct competitor to OpenAI's o1 model.

  • QwQ features 32.5 billion parameters and handles up to 32k tokens, excelling in reasoning-heavy tasks like math and coding.

  • In benchmarks, QwQ outperformed OpenAI’s o1-preview in math (AIME and MATH) and reasoning (GPQA) but lagged slightly in coding (LiveCodeBench).

  • QwQ is open-source, allowing developers to explore its reasoning process, though it faces challenges like language blending and reasoning loops.

This launch highlights Alibaba’s push to challenge AI leaders with competitive and transparent alternatives, potentially reshaping AI’s role in logic-intensive applications.
