Alibaba's open-source AI model shines as Qwen-based agentic framework tops global ranking
start-up Together AI, DeepSWE was trained on the Qwen3-32B large language model (LLM) – part of
Alibaba Cloud's third-generation family of AI models. It topped the leaderboard of the latest SWEBench-Verified test, scoring 59 per cent accuracy against other so-called open-weight models like
DeepSeek 's V3-0324, the developers said in a blog post on Wednesday.
Agentic frameworks are software platforms that provide the structure, tools and functionalities to build, deploy and manage AI agents. They enable AI agents to collaborate, make decisions and automate complex tasks.
AI agents, such as Chinese start-up
Butterfly Effect's Manus , are software programs that are capable of autonomously performing tasks on behalf of a user or another system. Essentially, these agents create a plan of specific tasks and subtasks to complete a goal using available resources.
DeepSWE marks the latest example of
Hangzhou -based Alibaba's growing leadership position in the global open-source community. Alibaba owns the South China Morning Post.
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.

Hong Kong pet shop owner arrested for alleged theft of 35 cats to repay loan
A Hong Kong pet shop owner has been arrested for the alleged theft of 35 of his customers' cats which he used to repay debts to a loan company, with the felines estimated to be valued at more than HK$623,000 (US$79,870), the Post has learned. The owner, surnamed Chan, 44, had a shop in Hung Hom, which also offered consignment and pet-sitting services, a source said on Thursday. The source said Chan took out a loan of HK$210,000 from a company in August last year. The firm demanded repayment on Monday but Chan, who could not pay, proposed offering the cats from two customers to cover part of the debt, the source said. The proposal was accepted by the company staff, who later took away the cats. Three Bengal cats, valued at HK$150,000, and 32 British Shorthairs and Ragdolls, valued at HK$473,300, were given away. The Bengal cats were owned by a woman, 57, who requested a pet-sitting service at the shop. The other cats belonged to a man, 54, who asked for a consignment service.

China, US ease export curbs but Trump's Vietnam deal risks blowback: analysts
A week after announcing long-anticipated progress from high-level talks in London, China and the United States are taking concrete steps to clear export hurdles and issue licenses for strategic goods. The easing of trade restrictions signals a tentative reset between the world's two largest economies. But the thaw remains fragile, as analysts warned that Washington's new trade deal with Vietnam could provoke a response from Beijing. Still, for now, both sides have moved to restore access to critical technologies and high-priority exports. Leading American chip design software firms Synopsys and Cadence Design Systems have received official notices about the rollback of export restrictions and were working to restore access to their products for customers in China, according to company statements on Thursday. Siemens also confirmed it had made its software fully available again to Chinese clients. On Wednesday, the US government sent letters to major ethane producers and exporters – Enterprise Products Partners and Energy Transfer – revoking a licensing requirement imposed in June and clearing the way for shipments to China to resume, according to Reuters.
