Alibaba unveils Qwen3-Max-Thinking to compete with top AI reasoning models like GPT 5.2
Alibaba has released Qwen3-Max-Thinking, its most capable reasoning artificial intelligence model to date. On 19 widely recognized benchmarks, Qwen3-Max-Thinking delivers performance on par with leading models including GPT 5.2-Thinking, Claude Opus 4.5, and Gemini 3 Pro.
Achieving these results, Qwen3-Max-Thinking benefits from expanded model scaling and the application of substantial reinforcement learning resources. These advances improve the model's factual accuracy, complex reasoning abilities, instruction following, alignment with human preferences, and support for agent-based tasks.
Building on these improvements, Qwen3-Max-Thinking introduces adaptive tool-use features, allowing it to trigger retrieval actions and invoke a code interpreter as needed. This innovation increases its utility for complex workflows. The model also implements advanced test-time scaling methods, resulting in reasoning performance that surpasses Gemini 3 Pro on key tasks.
Qwen3-Max-Thinking is now accessible both within Qwen Chat and via the API, enabling developers and end-users to utilize its expanded capabilities immediately.

Oh no not another LLM.
Nice!
And can I ask it about what happened in Tiannanmen Square in June 1989 and get a real answer, or will it, like other Chinese AIs, simply parrot the official line of the Chinese Communist Party about those events?
If you actually research what happened enough you'd find it is far more nuanced than Western propaganda or Chinese state propaganda tells you it is and despite the name it did not take place within the square but on the borders. Look at what reporters at the time said and look at photos of the police before, unarmed originally some sitting down with citizens. What happened that no AI will tell you is it was an escalation of violence on both sides and there were casualties on both and the body count isn't as high. Also LLMs just parrot common opinions from their training data, you don't inherently need any government action to get same results.
