Alibaba Opens AI Model to Public

What’s new: Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. has opened its artificial intelligence (AI) large language model (LLM) Tongyi Qianwen to the public, the tech giant announced Wednesday.

The company launched the model to the mass market after its registration with authorities was approved, Alibaba’s cloud unit said in a statement.

To date, companies and organizations such as smartphone-maker Oppo Co. Ltd., Zhejiang University, and Alibaba’s Taobao and DingTalk platforms are working with Alibaba Cloud to train their own LLMs or develop applications based on Tongyi Qianwen.
