Alibaba Large Model Strategy
Alibaba (Ali) has released numerous large models, not simply a matter of “volume chasing,” but a carefully planned “Model-as-a-Service” (MaaS) ecosystem strategy. There are multiple considerations behind this, which can be summarized as “internal empowerment and external ecosystem building.”
Internal Business Driven (Inward Empowerment) Alibaba possesses an extremely vast and diverse business landscape, including e-commerce (Taobao & Tmall), finance (Ant Financial), logistics (Cainiao), cloud computing (Aliyun), and entertainment (Youku), among others.
