Beijing News Shell Finance Report (Reporter Luo Yidan): On March 5th, in response to recent false information circulating online about Alibaba’s “Qianwen Model Core Team Leaving En Masse” and “Open Source Strategy Adjustment,” Alibaba Group clarified to Shell Finance reporters:

The Qianwen model team is currently stable, with no “mass resignation” situation, and all products and services are operating normally.
Qianwen will adhere to its open source strategy. The foundational model team has never set commercial KPIs such as DAU, and the goal of the Qwen large model is to continuously pursue the upper limit of model intelligence and achieve AGI.
Alibaba sincerely welcomes top AI talents worldwide to join and jointly build a world-class large model technology and open source ecosystem. Alibaba will continue to increase investment, provide solid support for the Qianwen team, and strive for technological breakthroughs.
