Alibaba’s Qwen team just released QwQ-32B-Preview, a powerful new open-source AI reasoning model that can reason step-by-step through challenging problems and directly competes with OpenAI’s o1 series across benchmarks.
The details:
QwQ features a 32K context window, outperforming o1-mini and competing with o1-preview on key math and reasoning benchmarks.
The model was tested across several of the most challenging math and programming benchmarks, showing major advances in deep reasoning.
QwQ demonstrates ‘deep introspection,’ talking through problems step-by-step and questioning and examining its own answers to reason to a solution.
The Qwen team noted several issues in the Preview model, including getting stuck in reasoning loops, struggling with common sense, and language mixing.
Why it matters: Between QwQ and DeepSeek, open-source reasoning models are here — and Chinese firms are absolutely cooking with new models that nearly match the current top closed leaders. Has OpenAI’s moat dried up, or does the AI leader have something special up its sleeve before the end of the year?

Its fascinating to see a LLM answer a query while showing you the steps taken.
Ohh, this is fun.
My prompt:

___This is getting interesting. Using the same model in “HuggingChat” (the free account based chatbot interface from HF), the restriction isn’t there. Seems to be some filtereing being done on the demo.
The HuggingChat one also isn’t one-shot, so you can reply. Here it didn’t reverse tianamen properly, so I asked it to check that word again. And it answered this. Still very, err,… “diplomatic”:

Qwen is super powerful but the CCP endorsed lobodomy to censor it make it useless for my needs. Mistral 22B > qwen 32B all day any day just because it won’t shriek at me in rejection when I ask the wrong question.
