Welcome to the Community

Welcome to the Artificial Intelligence Community, a group for people interested in AI & technology 🤖

The development of AI is as fundamental as the creation of the microprocessor, the personal computer, the Internet, and the mobile phone. It will change the way people work, learn, travel, get health care, and communicate with each other. Entire industries will reorient around it. Businesses will distinguish themselves by how well they use it.

This community explores AI technologies, AI (robotic) embodiments, AI applications, AI-human interactions, AI standards and policy, AI predictions and fictions – and their related technical, expectational, ethical and societal issues.

Share & discuss the latest research, techniques, and advancements in artificial intelligence, data science, data visualization, deep learning, machine learning, NLP, computer vision, ethics in AI, robotics, self-driving cars, paper discussions, daily AI news and more!  We welcome people from diverse backgrounds and experience levels and offers a valuable “village square” for sharing ideas and opinions across the AI community. 🦾

Alibaba Launches Its Own AI Chatbot Technology To Be Used Across All Its Business Units

Alibaba is cutting pricing for its most advanced cloud-based visual large language model, called Qwen-vl-max, by up to 85%, the South China Morning Post reported. This is Alibaba’s second LLM price cut this year and highlights the growing competition between it and rivals like ByteDance, Baidu, and Tencent for cloud AI spending.

Alibaba, the largest cloud provider in China’s domestic market, is hoping that AI can revitalize this part of its business, where growth has slowed significantly in recent years. Last month, Alibaba launched an open-source reasoning model that generated positive reactions on social media and demonstrated its ability to compete in an emerging area of generative AI.

The AI competition in China is gaining steam despite U.S. authorities’ efforts to block Chinese firms from using Nvidia’s latest graphics processing units. ByteDance, which owns TikTok, plans to spend $7 billion to access Nvidia Hopper AI chips and its forthcoming Blackwell chips outside China in 2025, as we reported earlier this week.

The adjustment will position Qwen-vl-max as a direct competitor to a similar visual model ByteDance launched in the middle of December.
