Alibaba's healthcare AI model scores as high as senior-level doctors in medical exams
Alibaba Group Holding's healthcare-dedicated artificial intelligence (AI) model, powered by its advanced Qwen series, has demonstrated capabilities equivalent to experienced doctors and is now integrated into Quark, the company's flagship consumer-facing AI assistant app. The AI model successfully passed China's medical qualification exams, achieving the 'Deputy Chief Physician' standard across 12 common medical disciplines, including general medicine, internal medicine, general surgery, obstetrics and gynaecology, and paediatric medicine, Alibaba said on Tuesday. China's medical professional certification system ranks healthcare workers across five levels, with 'Deputy Chief Physician' at the fourth-highest level. The healthcare model is powered by Alibaba's Qwen 2.5-32B foundation model, supported by extensive, high-quality data and advanced multi-stage training, the company said. Alibaba owns the South China Morning Post. Benchmark data provided by Quark indicates the healthcare model outperformed DeepSeek's R1 and V3, and OpenAI's GPT-4o, in test accuracy. It scored a 74.8 per cent accuracy rate at the 'Deputy Chief Physician' level and a 56.4 per cent accuracy rate at the top-tier 'Chief Physician' standard. The Qwen logo is displayed next to a humanoid figure.

It has been refined for better accuracy in conjunction with hospitals and medical institutions, which are adopting the model in their own applications, the company said.

Tim Gill and Scott Miller
Before he left office in January, former President Joe Biden awarded Tim Gill the Presidential Medal of Freedom in recognition of his decades of work on behalf of marriage equality and other LGBTQ+ rights-related causes. With the fortune he made as founder of software maker Quark, Gill helped fund the litigation that led to Massachusetts becoming the first state to recognize same-sex marriage in 2004 and the case that resulted in the Supreme Court's 2015 decision making it legal nationwide. The main vehicle for Gill's philanthropy is the Gill Foundation, which he co-chairs with his husband Scott Miller, a former U.S. ambassador to Switzerland. Since its inception in 1994, the foundation has made grants totaling about $447 million, recently funding state lawsuits to protect marriage equality and to uphold bans on conversion therapy, including a Colorado case, Chiles v. Salazar, that the U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear in its fall 2025 term. Gill says he's learned to accept that the pace of change can be slow: 'We understand there will be setbacks but we think that over time we will make incremental progress toward a freer and more fair world.' Adds Miller, 'It's always fun to have the big wins at the federal level but first and foremost you have to make the change in the states in small ways that may affect fewer people but will help move the ball forward.'

Alibaba shares drop 4% in premarket trading after big profit miss
Alibaba shares fell on Thursday after the Chinese e-commerce giant missed earnings expectations for its fiscal fourth quarter on both the top and bottom line. Shares were down 4% in premarket trade in the U.S. at 5:51 a.m. ET. Here's how Alibaba did in its fiscal fourth quarter ended March versus LSEG estimates: While falling short of analyst expectations, revenue was nevertheless up 7% year-on-year. Investors will be looking at whether macroeconomic volatility has affected consumer sentiment in China. Washington's trade war with Beijing has created uncertainty in the world's second-largest economy, which has seen huge tariffs slapped on each other from both sides during the latest quarter in which Alibaba reported. Both sides agreed to suspend most tariffs on each other's goods this month. Over the last few months, China has also introduced policies to spur consumption and consumer purchases. In a move to boost purchases on its Tmall and Taobao platforms, Alibaba extended a partnership with Rednote, or Xiaohongshu, an Instagram-like service in China. The deal allows Taobao links to be embedded in Rednote posts, so users can be taken directly to a product shopping page. Investors are also focused on Alibaba's efforts in artificial intelligence, where it has become a leading player domestically and globally. In April, the Hangzhou-headquartered company launched the latest version of its open source large language model, Qwen 3, which is being used to power Alibaba's AI assistant Quark. AI competition in China is red hot and was exacerbated by DeepSeek's innovative model launched earlier this year. Chinese tech giant Tencent meanwhile on Tuesday announced a 91% year-on-year rise in capital expenditures in the first quarter, driven by investments in AI.
