US EditionHuawei’s AI Lab Denies that One of Its Pangu Models Copied Alibaba’s Qwen
CHINA, JUL 6 – Alibaba’s Qwen VLo AI model focuses on controlled image generation but is not open source, marking a shift from previous releases like Qwen3, company officials said.
- Last week, Alibaba introduced Qwen VLo, a multimodal image AI model whose model weights are withheld, ending its open-source availability.
- Amid rising competition, DeepSeek released its open-source R1 model in January, and Alibaba's Qwen3 weights came out in April, prompting Huawei to tighten licensing controls.
- Alibaba states Qwen VLo uses a progressive generation method and supports variable resolutions and aspect ratios like 4:1 or 1:3, despite current limitations.
- With VLo closed-source, developer access diminishes as Huawei open-sources Pangu Pro MoE on GitCode, intensifying competition for adoption among Chinese AI firms.
- Alibaba plans to enhance model reliability and stability amid ongoing closed-source licensing, potentially reshaping China's open AI research norms.
