Rui Ma(@ruima):Apparently Alibaba Cloud’s CTO said “Qwen4 next week” on stage at Apsara today, according to people in the room. Previously, all they’d officially confirmed was that the model was in training, and the slide still just says “coming soon.” Also worth noting that this was in Amsterdam, at Alibaba Cloud’s first Apsara event in Europe. Alibaba wants to sell more compute internationally, and Qwen is a pretty important part of getting developers into its ecosystem. The model people seem most excited about tho is the 27B, which some think could run on a single gaming GPU PS Super confusing that the Alibaba Cloud CTO is also called Dr. Fei-Fei Li like the World Labs Stanford prof who just got acquihired by AMD
