Alibaba to Launch Enhanced AI Model Qwen 3 This Month

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. is poised to introduce Qwen 3, an upgraded iteration of its leading AI model, possibly as soon as this April. This development is part of Alibaba´s strategic efforts to stay competitive in the rapidly evolving field of Artificial Intelligence.

The Chinese tech giant, based in Hangzhou, has not disclosed an exact launch date for Qwen 3, leaving room for speculation and anticipation. Such strategic timelines are common among tech companies as they navigate the competitive and fast-paced AI market. A person familiar with the situation, speaking anonymously due to the sensitivity and non-public nature of the information, hinted at a potential release later this month.

This latest iteration of Alibaba´s AI efforts positions the company alongside other major players such as OpenAI and DeepSeek in a race to innovate and lead in AI capabilities. The planned release follows reports from Chinese media outlet Huxiu, which first shed light on Alibaba´s ongoing developments in Artificial Intelligence.
