China's Alibaba on Monday released its latest update to its flagship artificial-intelligence model, Qwen 3.5, joining a flurry of rollouts ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday.

The new model features enhanced reasoning and agentic capabilities, while handling images and videos better than its predecessors, Alibaba said. The Hangzhou-based company also said Qwen 3.5 supports more than 200 languages, including many used in South Asia, Oceania and Africa.

Alibaba has also released an open-source version of the latest model. The company said its performance can match that of a previous-generation model despite being around 60% smaller, a result intended to help users slash costs.

This year's Lunar New Year holiday is turning into a Chinese version of Super Bowl judging by the show of force and marketing displayed by AI companies. Alibaba is one of the major participants vying to lock in users for their AI chatbots that are increasingly adept at helping humans with various tasks, from conducting complex research to booking travel and groceries.
