Alibaba unveils Qwen 3, a family of ‘hybrid’ AI reasoning models

Chinese technology company Alibaba on Monday Have been released Queen 3, AI model, claims to match a family company and in some cases the best models available from Google and Open.

Most models – or will soon – available for download under a “Open” license from AI Dev Platform Hug And PomegranateThe They are in size up to 0.6 billion parameters up to 235 billion parameters. The parameters are fairly matched by a model problem solving skill and more parameter models usually perform better than low parameters.

The emergence of a China-rooted model series like Quinn has increased pressure on American labs like OpenAI to provide more capable AI technology. They have also managed to implement restrictions to limit the power of Chinese AI agencies to restricted Chips Necessary Model Training.

According to Alibaba, Queen 3 models “hybrid” models are in the sense that they can take time and “logic” through complex problems or answer fast requests quickly. Logic models enable them to effectively cheek effectively like a model like OpenAI O3However, at the cost of higher delay.

“We have seamless thinking and non-thought-thinking mode, providing flexibility for users’ thinking budget control,” Queen Writes in one Blog postThe “This design enables users to configure the task-specific budget with more ease.”

Alibaba says Queen 3 models support 119 languages ​​and were trained in the data set of about 36 trillion token. Tokens are the raw bits of data that process a model; 1 million token is equivalent to about 750,000 words. Alibaba says that Coin 3 was trained in combination with the textbook, “question-answer pair,” code snipts, AI-exposed data and more.

Alibaba says these improvements with others have greatly enhanced the performance of Queen 3 compared to Queen 2. In a platform codes for the programming competition, the largest Queen 3 Model-Cyein-3-235B-A22B-defeat the 22b-OpenA O3-mini And Google Gemini 2.5 ProThe QWEN-3-235B-A22b also makes an exam and 3-minutes to evaluate the skills of any model of “logic” on issues, a challenging math benchmark and BFCL, a challenging Math benchmark and BFCL.

However, QWEN-3-235B-A22B is not publicly available-not yet.

The largest public queen 3 model, QWen3-32b, still competitive with several owned and open AI models, including the Chinese AI Lab DIPSEC R 1The Qwen3-32b has surpassed Openike O 1 Several test models, including a accurate standard called LiveBanch.

Alibaba says that Queen 3 follows the “Excels” in the equipment-coling capabilities as well as the instructions and copy specific data formats. In addition to models for downloads, Queen 3 fireworks are available from the cloud suppliers, including AI and hyperbolic.

Tuhin Srivastav, co-founder and chief executive officer of the AI ​​Cloud Host Basteten, says that Queen 3 is another topic of the trend line of the open models in line with the closed-source system like the OpenAE.

“America is doubled to limit purchases from China and China to China, but models like Queen 3 that are sophisticated and exposed […] Undoubtedly to be used natively, “He told TechCrunch in a statement.” It reflects the reality that businesses are both making their own tools [as well as] Buying the shelf through closed-model companies like anthropological and open-e-AE “
