This model can interact with its environment, understand spatial relationships over time, and determine the steps needed to complete a task, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday. According to the description, RynnBrain can map objects, predict trajectories, and navigate complex environments, such as kitchens or factory assembly lines. ## **Challenging Big Tech Rivals** With this release, Alibaba challenges AI giants like **Alphabet Inc's** (NASDAQ:GOOGL) **Google** and **Nvidia Corp** (NASDAQ:NVDA). The company has claimed state-of-the-art performance on benchmarks when compared to Google's Gemini Robotics-ER 1.5 and Nvidia's Cosmos-Reason2. RynnBrain is trained on Alibaba's Qwen3-VL vision-language model and is available in various versions on platforms such as Hugging Face and GitHub. While U.S. companies typically keep advanced AI technology proprietary, Chinese firms, like Alibaba, have focused on open-source AI. ## **Open-Source Strategy Fuels Alibaba's AI Growth** Alibaba is intensifying its AI strategy, with a strong focus on open-source adoption, which is gaining momentum and boosting confidence in the company's long-term AI positioning. The company is prioritizing open-source AI as its Qwen models gain significant traction, driving analysts to upgrade their outlook on Alibaba. Commitment to Open-Source Innovation Alibaba emphasized that openness would be a central feature of its 2025 AI strategy, highlighting how open-source software accelerates development and reduces costs for developers and companies alike. This came after a surge in Alibaba's U.S.-listed shares, following the announcement that its Qwen model family surpassed 700 million downloads on Hugging Face, making it the most widely adopted open-source AI system. Notably, **Meta Platforms Inc.** (NASDAQ:META) has incorporated Alibaba's Qwen models to rebuild its own AI stack. **HSBC** analyst Charlene Liu noted that Alibaba's cloud business is well-positioned to sustain growth, particularly amid strong AI demand. **BABA Price Action:** Alibaba shares were up 0.45% at $163.72 during premarket trading on Tuesday, according to Benzinga Pro data. *Photo: Mamun\_Sheikh via Shutterstock* ### Related Stocks - [NVDL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDL.US.md) - [NVDY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDY.US.md) - [GGLL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GGLL.US.md) - [NVDA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDA.US.md) - [KBAB.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/KBAB.US.md) - [BABX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BABX.US.md) - [GOOGL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GOOGL.US.md) - [NVDU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDU.US.md) - [GOOG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GOOG.US.md) - [GOOW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GOOW.US.md) - [09988.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/09988.HK.md) - [BABA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BABA.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [Google Lost About $186 Billion After 4 of Its Top AI Researchers Left, but Sundar Pichai Says Google Will Be ‘A Founding Investor’ Anyway](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296636401.md) - [IREN Just Passed Its Biggest AI Test as Microsoft and Nvidia Bet Billions](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296533962.md) - [Google Is Reportedly Working with AMD for Its New TPU.
