Alibaba Cloud, the cloud computing unit of Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba, announced that it will be rolling out its own ChatGPT-like AI model Tongyi Qianwen. It will initially be deployed on DingTalk, Alibaba's workplace communication software, and voice assistant Tmall Genie. Alibaba plans to open Tongyi Qianwen to its clients so they can build their own customised large language models.
