Alibaba made a groundbreaking announcement that sent ripples through the tech world. They declared that their proprietary massive language model, an artificial intelligence system known as Tongyi Qianwen, would be accessible to the general public and businesses across China starting from September 13th.
Tongyi Qianwen, much like ChatGPT, is a large language model trained on a vast corpus of text in both English and Chinese. While the exact specifications remain shrouded in secrecy, initial rumors suggest it might boast a staggering 10 trillion parameters, dwarfing OpenAI's GPT-4 by a factor of ten. However, these rumors are yet to be officially confirmed. Notably, Alibaba had previously open-sourced two models, each with 7 billion parameters, based on the Tongyi Qianwen architecture.
In another move that showcased Alibaba's commitment to innovation, Alibaba Cloud introduced two open-source large vision language models, Qwen-VL and Qwen-VL-Chat. These models possess the unique ability to comprehend images, texts, and bounding boxes in prompts, enabling multi-round question answering in both English and Chinese. This development is a testament to Alibaba's ongoing efforts to push the boundaries of AI technology and make it more accessible to a broader audience, ultimately shaping the future of artificial intelligence in China and beyond.
