Alibaba says that their most recent Qwen AI model, Qwen 2.5-Max, outperforms the “leading state-of-the-art models,” such as DeepSeek V3. 
Alibaba claimed that its Qwen2.5-Max beats DeepSeek V3 on a number of benchmarks, such as GPQA-Diamond, LiveBench, Arena-Hard, and LiveCodeBench. Additionally, it performed well on other tests including the MMLU-Pro.
Alibaba’s AI model was evaluated by comparing it to other top models, including the dense model Llama-3.1-405B, the open-weight MoE model DeepSeek V3, and Qwen2.5-72B.
“Now Qwen2.5-Max is available in Qwen Chat, and you can directly chat with the model, or play with artifacts, search, etc.” stated Alibaba’s Qwen in a blog post.
The recent release of DeepSeek’s AI assistant and R1 model caused a sharp decline in Silicon Valley tech stocks. The Chinese startup’s models’ low development and operating costs have sparked concerns about the high spending of AI companies based in the US
In an announcement shared on its official WeChat account, Alibaba’s cloud unit was quoted by Reuters as stating: “Qwen 2.5-Max outperforms almost across the board GPT-4o, DeepSeek-V3, and Llama-3.1-405B.”
TikTok’s parent firm, ByteDance, also joined the battle with an updated AI model, asserting that it outperformed OpenAI’s products in benchmark tests. This action echoed DeepSeek’s claims about the competitive performance of their R1 model.
China’s AI models began to compete on price when DeepSeek-V2 was released in May 2024.
What Makes Qwen 2.5-Max Better than OpenAI GPT-4o and DeepSeek-V3
- The most recent version of Qwen AI, Qwen 2.5-Max, has outperformed OpenAI’s GPT-4o and DeepSeek-V3 in terms of contextual awareness. Qwen 2.5-Max performed better on tasks requiring mathematical reasoning, logical deductions, and problem-solving in LiveBench AI testing.
- In tests using the Arena-Hard benchmarks, Qwen 2.5-Max outperformed DeepSeek-V3 by 8% and GPT-4o by 5% in terms of accuracy when responding to complex multi-step queries.
- Since Qwen AI has strong multilingual support and ChatGPT and DeepSeek are mainly optimized for English and Chinese, it is a superior option for multinational corporations wishing to conduct business in several languages with great accuracy.
- Through API endpoints, Qwen AI can be included into customer service systems, mobile applications, and websites.

The Volt Post recently in an article elaborated about the new AI model created by DeepSeek. Driven by interest in the ChatGPT rival, DeepSeek’s AI assistant rose to the top of the free software download charts on Apple’s iPhone store on Monday. The notion that the Chinese startup has caught up to the leading American companies in generative AI at a fraction of the cost is one of the things that worries some observers of the U.S. tech industry.
