Alibaba announced the Zhenwu V900 accelerator and said Qwen 4.5 and Qwen 5 will run 5 to 10 trillion parameters.

At Apsara in Hangzhou on September 22, CEO Eddie Wu announced a T-Head-designed chip claimed at 3x the M890's throughput, scaling to clusters of 500,000 units, mass production targeted for Q1 2027. Wu said Qwen 4 is already training and the 4.5 and 5 series will run two to four times the current flagship's ~2.4 trillion parameters. The pairing matters more than either half: Alibaba is claiming it can train frontier-scale models on domestic silicon. (Crypto Briefing)
