China AI Index Model Updates (ERNIE 5.1 & Qwen3.7-Max)

Overview

China AI Index is an ecosystem tracker cataloging Chinese model releases, including Baidu ERNIE 5.1 and Alibaba Qwen3.7-Max with pricing and context windows.[1] Although those specific models were released earlier in 2026, the index itself is actively updated and provides structured data on new models, including recent Alibaba and Moonshot AI entries, helping APAC researchers stay current.[1][6][7] For China-focused tool research, it functions as a meta-tool to identify new ERNIE, Qwen, Doubao, GLM, Kimi, and other indie releases as they appear.[1][6][7]
