Alibaba’s Qwen3-Omni tops Hugging Face AI ranking as Chinese open systems flourish


Alibaba Group Holding’s new Qwen3-Omni multimodal artificial intelligence system has quickly become the most popular model in the world’s largest open-source AI community, challenging closed systems from OpenAI and Google while underscoring the growing popularity of Chinese open AI systems.
Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B, a variant from the Qwen3-Omni series, ranked top on Hugging Face’s trending model list as of Monday, followed by image editing model Qwen-Image-Edit-2509. Alibaba owns the Post.

Alibaba’s cloud computing unit unveiled the Qwen3-Omni series on Tuesday, describing it as the first native end-to-end multimodal system that “unifies text, images, audio and video in one model”.

Shares of Alibaba rose 4.3 per cent in Hong Kong as of 1.41pm.

Initially launched in April, Qwen3 has expanded into a family of models possessing text, image, audio and visual capabilities, as well as various multimodal systems tailored for real-world applications.
