Alibaba Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) was up by 4.15% during Thursday&#8217;s premarket after announcing the launch of more than 100 new open-source AI models and introduced a text-to-video generation tool.
What Happened: The new models, named Qwen 2.5, are designed for various applications, including automotive, gaming, and scientific research. They feature enhanced capabilities in mathematics and coding, Alibaba stated, CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/09/19/alibaba-launches-over-100-new-ai-models-releases-text-to-video-generation.html">reported</a> on Thursday.
At the time of writing, Alibaba was trading at $87.92 while it closed at $84.42 on Wednesday, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
These models are open-source, allowing global researchers, academics, and companies to utilize them without needing to train their own systems, saving time and costs. Alibaba aims to increase the adoption of its AI by making these models accessible.
The company also upgraded its proprietary flagship model, Qwen-Max, which is sold through its cloud computing services. Alibaba claims Qwen-Max 2.5-Max outperforms competitors like Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) and OpenAI in reasoning and language comprehension.

Earlier this month, Alibaba launched a new AI-powered sourcing tool aimed at simplifying the sourcing process for American buyers, despite ongoing tensions between Beijing and Washington. This move is part of its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40744024/alibaba-boosts-us-expansion-with-new-ai-sourcing-tool-despite-festering-tensions-between-beijing-and">broader strategy to expand</a> its U.S. footprint.

Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLUG#NASDAQ">PLUG</a>) shares are trading higher premarket Thursday. The company secured a 25-megawatt (MW) order for its proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer systems from oil companies BP p.l.c. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BP#NYSE">BP</a>) and Iberdrola S.A.&#8216;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBDSF#OTC">IBDSF</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ir.plugpower.com/press-releases/news-details/2024/Plug-Contracts-with-bp-and-Iberdrola-Joint-Venture-to-Supply-25-MW-of-PEM-Electrolyzers-for-bps-Castelln-Refinery-Project-in-Valencia-Spain/default.aspx" rel="noreferrer noopener">joint </a>venture, Castellón Green Hydrogen S.L.
The project will use five 5 MW containerized PEM electrolyzers to decarbonize BP&#8217;s Castellón refinery in Valencia, Spain and is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by 23,000 tons annually.
Plug&#8217;s electrolyzers will be deployed in a project led by BP and Iberdrola to produce green hydrogen, replacing a portion of the refinery&#8217;s current gray hydrogen, which is generated from natural gas.
This partnership with BP marks the start of a long-term collaboration to decarbonize operations, with potential expansion up to 2 gigawatts of electrolysis capacity.
Plug CEO Andy Marsh said, &#8220;The selection of Plug&#8217;s technology for this project serves as a clear example of our established industry expertise and proven technology.&#8221;
&#8220;Industry experts have highlighted the immense market potential for green hydrogen in Europe as being a key factor for reaching European Union decarbonization targets. This presents a significant opportunity for Plug, and we have the market knowledge and technology readily available to make a substantial impact.&#8221;

The contract will provide Technical Evaluation Phase support for 25 megawatts of Proton Exchange Membrane Electrolyzers during the Front End Engineering Design process for a green methanol project in Portugal.
Apart from this, the company received a $10 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to scale its HYPER-Fuel project, which focuses on advanced hydrogen refueling infrastructure&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40735452/whats-going-on-with-plug-power-stock-today" rel="noreferrer noopener">for medium and heavy-duty vehicles</a>.
This funding is part of the DOE&#8217;s $62 million investment in 20 projects across 15 states to advance next-generation clean hydrogen technologies.
