Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE:BABA) has reinforced its engagement in the open-source development of its large language model (LLM), the technology underlying generative artificial intelligence services like ChatGPT.
The move follows the release of Tongyi Qianwen to third-party developers, with Alibaba's Lin Junyang highlighting the invaluable feedback and strength garnered from the open-source community.
By allowing public access to source code, open-source technology has significantly contributed to developing China's tech industry, enabling software modifications, enhancements, and widespread sharing, SCMP reports.
In its stride towards advancing AI, Alibaba Cloud has released simpler forms and more complex versions of its LLM, including a 72-billion-parameter version and an audio-understanding model, through ModelScope and Hugging Face.
These steps aim to elevate Tongyi Qianwen's standing and benchmark Alibaba's advancements against those of its global counterparts. Companies like Mistral AI and Meta Platforms are leading in LLM development.
Lin underscored the commercial benefits of open-source AI development, noting its role in facilitating collaborations with potential customers' core engineers.
Prior reports indicated Alibaba slashing cloud service prices by up to 59% for international clients, marking its second major price cut in recent months after reducing prices by up to 55% in China.
Joe Tsai, co-founder and chairman of Alibaba, highlighted the impact of U.S. technology restrictions on China's ability to compete in artificial intelligence development, suggesting that China is approximately two years behind the U.S.
These restrictions, which limit access to advanced semiconductors and AI processors, have significantly impacted Alibaba's cloud business, prompting the company and others in China to seek alternative sources for these critical technologies.
Alibaba's stock plunged 28% in the last 12 months. Investors can gain exposure to the stock via SPDR NYSE Technology ETF (NYSE:XNTK) and Invesco Nasdaq Internet ETF (NASDAQ:PNQI).
Price Action: BABA shares traded higher by 0.33% at $69.84 premarket on the last check Wednesday.

阿里巴巴集团(NYSE:BABA)加强了对大型语言模型（LLM）开源开发的参与，该模型是ChatGPT等生成式人工智能服务的基础。
此举是在向第三方开发者发布Tongyi Qianwen之后采取的，阿里巴巴的林俊阳强调了从开源社区获得的宝贵反馈和力量。
南华早报报道，通过允许公众访问源代码，开源技术为中国科技行业的发展做出了重大贡献，使软件修改、增强和广泛共享成为可能。
在推进人工智能的过程中，阿里云通过ModelScope和Hugging Face发布了其LLM的更简单形式和更复杂的版本，包括720亿个参数的版本和音频理解模型。
这些措施旨在提升通易千文的地位，并将阿里巴巴的进展与全球同行的进展进行对比。像 Mistral AI 和 Meta Platforms 这样的公司在 LLM 开发方面处于领先地位。
林强调了开源人工智能开发的商业利益，并指出了它在促进与潜在客户核心工程师合作方面的作用。
先前的报告显示，阿里巴巴将国际客户的云服务价格下调了多达59％，这是继中国降价多达55％之后，阿里巴巴近几个月来的第二次重大降价。
阿里巴巴联合创始人兼董事长蔡乔强调了美国的技术限制对中国在人工智能发展中的竞争能力的影响，这表明中国比美国落后了大约两年。
这些限制限制了对先进半导体和人工智能处理器的准入，严重影响了阿里巴巴的云业务，促使该公司和中国其他公司为这些关键技术寻找替代来源。
阿里巴巴的股票在过去12个月中暴跌了28％。投资者可以通过SPDR Morgan Stanley Technology ETF(NYSE:XNTK)和PowerShares纳斯达克互联网投资(NASDAQ:PNQI)获得股票敞口。
价格走势：周三最后一次支票中，BABA股价盘前上涨0.33％，至69.84美元。
