Released last month by Alibaba’s cloud computing unit , the Qwen3 AI models can now be deployed via large language model (LLM) platforms Ollama, LM Studio, SGLang and vLLM, according to the Qwen team’s latest post on their X account. Alibaba owns the South China Morning Post.
Users of Qwen3, which consists of eight enhanced AI models , could also choose from multiple formats – including GPT-generated unified format, activation-aware weight quantisation and generalised post-training quantisation – “for easy local deployment”, the post said.
The expansion reflects the accelerated pace of development in China’s AI sector and Hangzhou -based Alibaba’s growing leadership position in the global open-source community.
The open-source approach gives public access to a program’s source code, allowing third-party software developers to modify or share its design, fix broken links or scale up its capabilities.
