The Deep View: Alibaba’s new AI model takes the top spot on key scores

 MODELSAlibaba’s new AI model takes the top spot in key scores


Alibaba just released an AI model that can solve problems from the American Invitational Mathematics Examination better than most human math prodigies. 

Qwen3-235B-A22B-Instruct-2507 scored 70.3 on the prestigious competition, trouncing OpenAI’s GPT-4o at 26.7 and DeepSeek-V3 at 46.6. The timing amplifies China’s recent AI momentum following DeepSeek’s January breakthrough that sent Nvidia’s stock tumbling. AIME problems demand sophisticated reasoning skills that separate elite high school mathematicians from their peers.

Only about 5,000 students qualify annually from over 300,000 who take the preliminary exam.The model’s “non-thinking” approach makes its success more intriguing. Unlike OpenAI’s o1 series, which shows step-by-step reasoning, Qwen3 generates final answers directly without revealing its thought process. This trades transparency for efficiency while hiding how it actually solves complex problems.

Beyond math prowess, Qwen3 delivers significant upgrades across multiple domains: Scored 87.9 on MultiPL-E coding benchmark versus GPT-4o’s 82.7Context length expanded to 256,000 tokens, among the longest available. Enhanced multilingual capabilities and long-form reasoning Improved alignment with subjective user intent and open-ended tasks. The model uses 235 billion total parameters with 22 billion activated per query.

Alibaba is positioning Qwen3 for immediate deployment through partnerships like HP’s Xiaowei Hui assistant for Chinese PCs. The performance raises questions about whether Chinese AI development has moved beyond copying Western approaches toward genuine innovation, with Chinese competitors now setting the pace in specific technical domains.
