Alibaba Cloud rolls out the latest iteration of its Qwen model series, Qwen 1.5, with enhanced capabilities of understanding and generating content in 12 languages including Arabic, Japanese and Spanish, the company shared this week.
The cloud computing company is opening access to six sizes of the Qwen model, including a small language model (SLM) version, and their conversationally finetuned version for research and commercial purposes.
The open-sourced models, with enhanced multilingual capabilities, can better serve applications such as translation, language understanding, and multilingual chat, according to Alibaba Cloud.
SLMs are on the rise given their relatively lower demands on computing compared with traditional large language models.
Alibaba Cloud said it will continue to improve the quality of small language models and explore methods for transferring the advanced capabilities inherent in larger models into the smaller ones.
