Alibaba’s updated Qwen3 Max is the most intelligent non-reasoning model, placing ahead of Kimi K2 0905! Key takeaways: ➤ Intelligence uplift: Intelligence increased by +6 points to 55 in our Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index. Qwen3 Max is currently the most intelligent non-reasoning model. The previous most intelligent non-reasoning model, Kimi K2 0905, scored 50 on the index ➤ GA: Alibaba’s upgraded Qwen3 Max model is now in GA, the prior version was in Preview ➤ Broader capability improvements: Improvements across agentic tool use (𝜏²-Bench Telecom scores increased from 33% to 74%), coding (LiveCodeBench from 65% to 77%), and long context reasoning (AA-LCR from 40% to 47%). ➤ Higher token usage: Running the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index required ~21M output tokens, ~7M more than Qwen3 Max (Preview). This continues the trend of non-reasoning models becoming more verbose, though there remains a distinction with Qwen3 Max still significantly below reasoning models Key model information: ➤🧠 Reasoning: Qwen3 Max is a non-reasoning model. Alibaba has indicated that a reasoning version, Qwen3-Max-Thinking, is under active training. ➤🔒 Proprietary: Like the Preview version, Qwen3 Max is proprietary, since Alibaba has not released the weights. ➤⚙️ Context window: The model supports a 256k-token context window. ➤📷 Multimodality: Qwen3 Max is text-only, with no multimodal inputs or outputs. ➤💲Pricing: The model is priced at $1.2/$6 per 1M input/output tokens Qwen3 Max is currently available in Qwen Chat and via Alibaba Cloud.

Tencent’s latest open weights model Hunyuan-A13B (80B total, 13B active) achieves an Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index of 56 - impressive given that it can be run on a single H200 (in FP8 precision) Hunyuan-A13B scores ahead of Qwen3 8B and 14B, but behind larger models like Qwen3 235B (235B total, 22B active) and DeepSeek R1 (671B total, 37B active). Hunyuan-A13B supports a 256K context window - larger than Qwen3’s 128K context window but smaller than MiniMax M1’s 1M context window. Hunyuan-A13B can be run in FP8 precision on just one H200 or two H100s - a much smaller deployment than the 8xH100 deployment required for Qwen3 235B or MiniMax M1 (456B).

We've just unveiled ERNIE 4.5 & X1! 🚀 As a deep-thinking reasoning model with multimodal capabilities, ERNIE X1 delivers performance on par with DeepSeek R1 at only half the price. Meanwhile, ERNIE 4.5 is our latest foundation model and new-generation native multimodal model. Plus, our AI chatbot ERNIE Bot has now been made free to individual users ahead of schedule. Both models are now freely accessible to all ERNIE Bot users via its official website: https://t.co/hJjfLaKsEN.
