Recently, AI models are increasingly mimicking the subtleties of human communication, evidenced by the release of Alibaba’s Qwen QWQ-32B and OpenAI’s GPT-4.5. The Qwen model matches DeepSeek's performance while being more resource-efficient, signaling rapid advancements in accessible AI. In contrast, GPT-4.5, while expensive and not breaking benchmark records, is praised for its enhanced verbal intelligence, aesthetic sensibility, and contextual adaptation. This juxtaposition highlights an evolving landscape in AI development that resembles the traditional STEM versus humanities debate.
Chinese tech giant Alibaba Thursday released a new model, called Qwen QWQ-32B, that matches the performance of DeepSeek's R1 but requires a fraction of the computing power to run.
After a week of hands-on experience with OpenAI's latest and biggest model, GPT-4.5, AI experts remain a little puzzled by it, given that it costs a fortune to use yet doesn't break benchmark records.
It appears so far that GPT-4.5 has advantages in places like verbal intelligence, contextual adaptation, detailed knowledge, and a kind of abstract writing skill.
There's a magic to it I haven't felt before.
