Alibaba Group Holding<\/span> unveiled the preview version of its most powerful artificial intelligence<\/span> model to date, solidifying its position as China’s leader in the race to catch American giants like Anthropic, Google and OpenAI.<\/div>\n
Qwen3.5-Max-Preview, the flagship model of Alibaba’s Qwen<\/span> 3.5 family, is now available on Arena, formerly known as LMArena, a model performance community created by researchers from UC Berkeley. Alibaba, which owns the South China Morning Post, unveiled the model on Thursday.<\/div>\n

As of Friday, it was the top Chinese model on Arena’s list, but ranked 15th globally, behind products from Anthropic, which occupied the top two positions, and Google, whose Gemini-3.1-Pro-Preview came third.<\/p>\n

But Qwen3.5-Max-Preview shows strong maths capabilities, ranking fifth globally in the category, trailing models including Anthropic’s Claude-Opus-4-6-Thinking and OpenAI’s GPT-5.4-High.<\/p>\n

Alibaba said the new model was currently undergoing “final optimisations ahead of the release within the next two weeks”.<\/p>\n

Last month, the Hangzhou, Zhejiang province-based company announced several models in the family<\/span>. These included Qwen-3.5-Open-Source, with 397 billion parameters, and Qwen-3.5-Plus, which offers one of the industry’s largest context windows at 1 million tokens – a reflection of how much data it can process at any given time.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
