      Alibaba's META moment?

      During the COVID market boom in the latter half of 2020, META announces massive investment into metaverse touted as the next frontier / form in social media platform while spending like there's no tomorrow. Instead of testing it on a microscale with discipline capital injection while assessing market willingness to pay for it, they went in big. Rightfully, they got punished by clear-minded investors/shareholders. Today we know that shareholders were right. Alibaba foray into cloud industry has been nothing short of spectacular. It was fast & furious with heavy resources & manpower investment & strong execution. In no time, it catches up with global top LLM company eg. OpenAI. Currently, Qwen 3.0 ranks #4 among global open & close - sourced LLM models right behind OpenA
