Alibaba Group Holding Limited (BABA) Unveils Its Most Advanced AI Coding Tool

Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA) is among the 13 Best Global Stocks to Buy Right Now. On July 23, the Chinese e-commerce giant announced the launch of Qwen3-Coder, a new open-source AI model for software development, which is also the company's most advanced coding tool to date. Christopher Penler / The news comes amid intense competition between Chinese technology firms in the global AI development race. Qwen3-Coder is built for tasks like code generation and managing complex coding workflows. Performance data released by Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA) said the open-source coder outperformed rival models from DeepSeek and Moonshot AI. The tests also showed that Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA)'s Qwen3-Coder either matched the performance or was just behind leading U.S. models, including OpenAI's GPT-4 and Anthropic's Claude, in certain areas. The company stated the following in a statement on Wednesday: 'Agentic AI coding is transforming software development by enabling more autonomous, efficient and accessible programming workflows. With its open-source availability, strong agentic coding capabilities, and seamless compatibility with popular developer tools and interfaces, Qwen3-Coder is positioned as a valuable tool for global developers in software development.' While we acknowledge the potential of BABA as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

Meta just hired the co-creator of ChatGPT in an escalating AI talent war with OpenAI

Shengjia Zhao, a co-creator of ChatGPT and former lead scientist at OpenAI, is joining Meta as chief scientist of its Superintelligence Labs. CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced Zhao's appointment on Friday in a social media post, and called him a "pioneer" in the field who has already driven several major AI breakthroughs. Zhao previously helped build GPT-4 and led synthetic data efforts at OpenAI. According to the post, Zhao will now work directly with Zuckerberg and Meta's newly appointed chief AI officer, Alexandr Wang, the founder and CEO of Scale AI. The new hire comes during Zuckerberg's multibillion-dollar AI spending spree, including a $15 billion investment in Scale AI and the creation of Meta Superintelligence Labs, a new division focused on foundational models and next-gen research. In addition to Zhao, the company has lured away the three researchers who built OpenAI's Zurich office — Lucas Beyer, Alexander Kolesnikov, and Xiaohua Zhai — all of whom previously also worked at Google's DeepMind. The Superintelligence Labs team is now comprised of a lineup of names previously seen with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. But the war for AI talent is far from over. Databricks VP Naveen Rao likened the competition to "looking for LeBron James," estimating that fewer than 1,000 people worldwide can build frontier AI models. Companies without the cash for massive pay packages are turning to hackathons and computing power as incentives. Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas said a Meta researcher he tried to poach told him to ask again when the company has "10,000 H100s." AI tech workers have previously told Business Insider that Meta's Mark Zuckerberg has been emailing prospects directly and even hosting AI researchers at his home, while OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has made personal calls to potential hires. Tech company executives have mixed feelings about Meta's poaching efforts. "Meta right now are not at the frontier, maybe they'll they'll manage to get back on there," said Demis Hassabis, the CEO of Google DeepMind, on an episode of the "Lex Fridman Podcast," which aired on Friday. "It's probably rational what they're doing from their perspective because they're behind and they need to do something," Hassabis added. During a July 18 episode of the podcast "Uncapped with Jack Altman," OpenAI CEO Sam Altman criticised some of Meta's "giant offers" to his company's employees, and called the strategy "crazy."
