Alibaba Group Holding has launched an open-source AI agent designed to rival top US models, operating with just 30 billion parameters yet matching OpenAI’s flagship performance. This high-efficiency model enables complex web retrieval tasks while remaining computationally efficient. Integrated into services like Alibaba’s Amap app and Tongyi FaRui legal tool, the development signals a significant shift towards accessible AI. It demonstrates that lower parameter counts can still lead to cutting-edge capabilities, challenging US AI dominance.
