'Tongyi Qianwen' will drive cloud consumption, industry-specific AI, and smarter smart speakers
Alibaba Cloud has revealed a new large language model and plans to use it in everything from the cloud to smart speakers.was built on a model comprised of ten trillion parameters, well ahead of GPT-3’s 175 billion.
Tongyi Qianwen will first be integrated into Alibaba’s DingTalk collaboration suite, to deliver table stakes functionality like summarising meetings, writing emails, and creating documents such as proposals. The chatbot will also be baked into Tmall Genie, Alibaba’s competitor to the likes of Siri, Google Assistant, and Amazon Alexa. Alibaba has promised Tmall Genie will evolve to handle tasks like providing meaningful help to children tackling homework.
Nor did the company detail a new Alibaba Cloud “universal instance family” that is reputed to offer 40 percent cost saving compared to its other infrastructure-as-a-service offerings. The reason for the newly introduced 50 percent discount for the Chinse cloud leader’s storage-as-a-service offering is easier to divine: it applies if users reserve capacity in a specific region for a year.
