Alibaba’s Qwen research team has released the Qwen2.5-Coder Series, a collection of open-source (Apache 2.0 licensed) large language models (LLMs). The standout model, Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct, is claimed to match the coding capabilities of GPT-4o, despite being significantly smaller. This allows it to run efficiently on devices like the MacBook Pro M2 with 64GB of RAM. This development signifies a shift towards more accessible and powerful AI coding tools, potentially democratizing advanced coding capabilities for a wider range of users and developers.
