Who said anything about them going down?Unitree humanoid robots are the most used humanoids in research bar to none and Qwen LLMs are the most used LLM in research. Kimi and Minimax are really good for end users but they are not research friendly.
As you said, Alibaba is looking to joint other Chinese labs in the commercial race as they should. Hopefully they will continue to open sourcing models because I believe is China AI strength. Diffusion of their models globally. despite efforts from the US.
But if Qwen goes down would be a lost in my opinion.
There are actually now quite a few Chinese AI labs doing small models. If Qwen wasn't around, the other ones would just take over.
Seriously, calm down.
