Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. has recently shown off its new AI that powers a chatbot similar to ChatGPT.

The AI large language model has been named Tongyi Qianwen.

For demonstration purposes, Tongyi Qianwen has drafted invitation letters, planned trip itineraries and advised shoppers on types of makeup to purchase.

The AI will initially be integrated into DingTalk, Alibaba's workplace messaging app, followed by Tmall Genie, Alibaba's voice assistant.

As per CEO Daniel Zhang, “this technology will bring about big changes to the way we produce, the way we work, and the way we live our lives”.

The firm has also planned to open up Tongyi Qianwen to clients so they can build their own customized large language models.

The registrations for the AI, Tongyi Qianwen, are most likely to start on Friday, April 14, 2023.
