Alibaba's Qwen 2.5-Max

Haven’t seen a discussion on this here yet, so I’ll start it

What do you guys think of Alibaba’s Qwen 2.5-max?

What a time to be alive - another AI model that claims to outperform models such as the GPT-4o, DeepSeek-V3 and Meta’s Llama-3.1-405B. This really feels like another rushed attempt to get into the AI race, given how this seemingly came out of nowhere (maybe im just not paying attention, sorry). Though I wouldn’t be surprised if this performs well, since the rise of DeepSeek also means that China may really be catching up to its competitors
