Alibaba's Qwen 3.7 Max Preview Surfaces in LM Arena, Dual 72B Models in Concurrent Iteration

Alibaba’s Qwen 3.7 Max preview has appeared on LM Arena alongside the still-active Qwen 3 Ultra preview.

This suggests Alibaba is testing two flagship 72B models in parallel before launch.

The move points to a faster Qwen release cadence and more public benchmarking.

It also raises the competitive pressure in China’s AI market, where Alibaba faces rivals like ByteDance, Baidu, and DeepSeek.
