Business Highlight
Alibaba
Generative Al: In April, Alibaba Cloud unveiled its latest large language model
(LLM), Tongyi Qianwen (†). We plan to integrate new LLM into all
business applications across Alibaba's ecosystem in the near future to further
enhance user experience.
Product Pricing: Recently, Alibaba Cloud has endorsed multiple actions to make
computing more accessible and affordable. We announced a new instance
family that provides the same level of stability and offers up to 40% cost
savings. For existing products, we reduced the prices of some of our core utility
products, including computing, storage, networking and security products, by
up to 50%.
DingTalk: During the 2023 DingTalk Spring Summit on April 18, 2023, DingTalk
unveiled the integration of intelligent capabilities based on Alibaba's Tongyi
Qianwen LLM into its product. Users can activate multiple Al capabilities by
typing the slash symbol (/), including article creation, meeting notes summary,
image generation, DingTalk mini-app building, and robot training. As a PaaS
platform, DingTalk will further help customers and ecosystem partners to
unlock the potential of Al capabilities.
