Huawei brushes aside accusations of copying Alibaba AI model
Huawei announced a slate of new large language models in June, which it said were developed in-house. (Huawei) ITSURO FUJINO, SHOGO SUGIYAMA and RYOSUKE EGUCHI GUANGZHOU/TOKYO -- China's Huawei Technologies has been accused of copying an Alibaba Group artificial intelligence large language model for its own AI, a development that has roiled the Chinese tech industry and cast a light on intellectual property issues in cutting-edge fields. The accusation stems from a paper posted this month on GitHub, a U.S. software development and sharing platform. The paper analyzed Huawei's Pangu Pro MoE large language model, released in June, and found that it showed "extraordinary correlation" with Alibaba's Qwen 2.5 14B. It said Huawei may have reused Alibaba's model.
