Google, part of Alphabet, had 418 million downloads while Meta stood at 227 million in 2026, according to popular open-source AI hub Hugging Face Inc., which published a\u00a0state of open models\u00a0report on Aug. 14.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Open models can be downloaded, customized and used as building blocks for new AI products, making adoption a gauge of which technologies developers are choosing to build on. That has made download and derivative-model figures one measure of influence in the US-China AI race, as Chinese developers including Alibaba push capable models that are relatively cheap and easy to adapt. Qwen\u2019s rise suggests that strategy is gaining traction beyond China.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Qwen along with Moonshot AI Inc, DeepSeek and Chinese AI model builders are replicating frontier performance, seeking to bridge the gap with closed models in US, such as OpenAI Inc. and Anthropic PBC. Export controls on chips and AI systems, such as the brief ban on overseas access to Anthropic\u2019s Fable 5 model this summer, don\u2019t appear to be putting the brakes on Chinese competitors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alibaba\u2019s download data for Qwen makes it \u201cone of the largest foundations of the open AI ecosystem,\u201d the Hugging Face report said. The Hangzhou-based cloud, e-commerce and AI tech company is making gains over local rivals DeepSeek, Moonshot Kimi and MiniMax as well as US models.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cQwen has become part of the default workflow for developers deciding what models to fine-tune and deploy,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A broad model family can create a self-reinforcing ecosystem: more developers adopt the models, more derivative versions are built, and that in turn draws in new users. Alibaba has bolstered that cycle by distributing Qwen through its cloud platform to enterprise customers in markets including Southeast Asia and Africa, giving it a reach that many rivals lack.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">US tech giants are responding. In recent weeks, Meta and Nvidia Corp. have released new open AI models as competition for developers intensifies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>#Alibaba #models #hit #billion #downloads #passing #Meta #Google<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alibaba Group Holding\u2019s open-w&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2391,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4640,432,173,4641,636,262,850,342,4642],"class_list":["post-2390","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-finance-news","tag-alibaba","tag-billion","tag-china","tag-downloads","tag-google","tag-hit","tag-meta","tag-models","tag-passing"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
