Qwen3.8-MaxがAnthropicを上回る——さらにAlibabaがウェイト公開へ
alibabaが2.4tパラメータモデルqwen3.8-maxを公開し、claude fable 5を上回るベンチマーク結果を記録。オープンウェイトは来週公開予定。このリリースは米国ラボとの競争を激化させ、フロンティアAIにおけるクローズドソースの支配に挑むものだ。
alibaba launched qwen3.8-max, its largest model to date with 2.4 trillion parameters, asserting it rivals or surpasses top us systems like anthropic's claude fable 5 and openai's models across multiple benchmarks. internal tests and rankings on arena.ai place it competitively in text, coding, and visual tasks, trailing only specific fable and opus variants. the company will release the model's weights next week, signaling a strategic return to open-weight distribution after earlier proprietary moves. this challenges the closed-source models of us frontier labs and aligns with beijing's push for open-weight adoption to expand global influence. the release narrows the performance gap between chinese and american ai, significantly impacting the open-source ecosystem and geopolitical tech landscape.
