Alibaba Cloud, the digital technology and intelligence backbone of Alibaba Group, recently announced that its proprietary foundational model, Tongyi, has attracted over 300,000 customers via its generative AI platform, Model Studio. This is a significant jump from the 90,000 revealed in May.
Leveraging Alibaba Cloud's Tongyi large models and its scalable global cloud infrastructure, businesses across the automobile, gaming, travel, and IT sectors have delivered enhanced customer experiences and developed innovative solutions. Alibaba Cloud also unveiled a partnership with the International Centre for Higher Education Innovation under the auspices of UNESCO (UNESCO-ICHEI) to bring the benefits of generative AI to higher education institutes through digital training initiatives.
Alibaba Cloud unveiled its large multimodal model (LMM) solution, which is designed for automotive applications and co-developed with NVIDIA and Banma, Alibaba's intelligent cockpit solution provider. This solution, available to China-based automakers, aims to deliver a more interactive experience for car owners and redefine the smart mobility journey.
This initiative marks the first integration of Alibaba's large models into NVIDIA's automotive platform. Leveraging Qwen's advanced capabilities in handling complex inquiries and processing visual intelligence, in-car voice assistants can engage in dynamic, multi-turn conversations and offer recommendations—from providing information about nearby landmarks to proactively suggesting car headlights be turned on during snowy conditions.
Looking ahead, Alibaba Cloud plans to work with NVIDIA to adapt Qwen models on NVIDIA DRIVE Thor, NVIDIA's next-generation centralized car compute platform that combines advanced driver assistance, autonomous driving, and AI cockpit capabilities into a single safe and secure system.
Powering Immersive and Scalable Gaming Experience for miHoYo
As a long-term partner, Alibaba Cloud has provided its cloud infrastructure support for miHoYo in launching its latest game, *Zenless Zone Zero*. With Alibaba Cloud's infrastructure and comprehensive product suite, the game has successfully addressed challenges in high server load, large volume of game data processing, and strong demand on platform stability, providing a smooth experience for players who logged in simultaneously on the day of its grand launch. The game has reached 50 million downloads within the first week since its release.
Empowering the Future of Education with UNESCO
During the Apsara Conference 2024, Alibaba Cloud signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) agreement with UNESCO-ICHEI to launch the GenAI and Cloud Micro-Certification online program for global learners. The program targets educators and students in higher education institutes, including universities and colleges across Asia and Africa.
