Unconfirmed report claims Alibaba is going big: future Qwen models targeting 5-10 trillion parameters with artificial superintelligence as the goal, Qwen 4 already training, with that scale planned for Qwen 4.5 and Qwen 5. Alongside the new Zhenwu V900 AI chip, Alibaba plans to exceed 20 GW of datacenter capacity by 2032 — and says its models are making progress at self-improvement with limited human involvement.
