Alibaba’s (BABA) new AI assistant, Qwen, surpassed 10 million downloads in its first week of public beta, outpacing early adoption of ChatGPT and DeepSeek, The South China Morning Post’s Wendy Chen reports. Its strong launch supports Alibaba’s push to build a leading AI platform to compete with major global models like Google’s (GOOGL) Gemini and ChatGPT, which are unavailable in mainland China, according to the report. Qwen marked “Alibaba’s most significant step yet into the consumer AI market, aiming to transform its cutting-edge foundational AI model capabilities into real-life applications and tools,” the company says.
