Di Yi Cai Jing·2025-04-29 00:33Core Insights - Alibaba Cloud has launched the new Qwen3 model, which is the first "hybrid reasoning model" in China, integrating "fast thinking" and "slow thinking" into a single model, significantly reducing deployment costs and enhancing performance compared to previous models [1][4] Group 1: Model Performance and Architecture - Qwen3 features a total parameter count of 235 billion, with only 22 billion activated, and utilizes a mixture of experts (MoE) architecture [2][3] - The model has achieved a performance leverage of over 10 times with its 30B parameter MoE model, requiring only 3 billion to match the performance of the previous Qwen2.5-32B model [3] - Qwen3 has outperformed global top models like DeepSeek-R1 and OpenAI-o1 in various benchmarks, securing its position as the strongest open-source model globally [1][2] Group 2: Cost Efficiency and Deployment - The deployment cost for Qwen3 has significantly decreased, requiring only 4 H20 units for full deployment, with memory usage being one-third of that of DeepSeek-R1 [1][3] - All Qwen3 models are hybrid reasoning models, allowing users to set a "thinking budget" for performance and cost optimization in AI applications [3][4] Group 3: Future Developments and Goals - Future enhancements for Qwen3 will focus on expanding data scale, increasing model size, extending context length, and broadening modality range, while leveraging environmental feedback for long-term reasoning [4] - The Qwen3 team views this launch as a significant milestone towards achieving general artificial intelligence (AGI) and superintelligent AI (ASI) [4]
