Tristan Greene3 hours agoAlibaba launches its ChatGPT-like AI model for public use amid loosening restrictions in ChinaThe launch comes just weeks after Chinese authorities began accepting applications for public-facing AI systems.788 Total views8 Total sharesListen to article 0:00NewsJoin us on social networksAlibaba announced that its proprietary large language model, an artificial intelligence system called Tongyi Qianwen, will be available for public and enterprise access throughout China starting Sept. 13. 


Tongyi Qianwen is a ChatGPT-like large language model trained on a corpus of English and Chinese text. While its exact specifications aren’t known — early rumors indicated it would be trained with as many as 10 trillion parameters, 10 times as many as OpenAI’s GPT4, but these remain unsubstantiated — Alibaba previously released two 7 billion-parameter open-source models based on the Tongyi Qianwen architecture.Alibaba Cloud launched two open-source large vision language models, Qwen-VL and Qwen-VL-Chat, that can comprehend images, texts, and bounding boxes in prompts and facilitate multi-round question answering in both English and Chinese.

Previously, Tongyi Qianwen had only been available to a limited group of users during its beta test phase. The public rollout coincides with a recent loosening of restrictions related to the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in the People’s Republic of China.


A set of guidelines published by the Chinese government in June dictated that, going forward, all AI technologies released to the public would require a special vetting and certification process.


The rules went into effect on Aug. 15. As Cointelegraph reported, a number of Chinese companies were given approval to launch models, including Baidu, Tencent, TikTok and ByteDance.

Among the provisions included in the updated restrictions are rules barring the generation of images in the likeness of China’s president, Xi Jinping, and mandates indicating organizations will address objectionable content within a three-month period. Previous versions of the legislation called for monetary fines, but as Cointelegraph reported, those plans were axed.


As China explores a loosening of its regulations, the United States has taken only preliminary steps to regulate AI technologies. Most recently, on Sept. 13, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer hosted a litany of top U.S. tech CEOs and founders in the first of nine scheduled forums to discuss potential policy ideas.# China# Alibaba# AI# Tencent# Regulation# ChatGPT# OpenAIAdd reactionAdd reactionRead moreHow to send and receive payments on the Lightning NetworkMeta’s assault on privacy should serve as a warning against AIHuman vs. AI: Who is better at crypto investing?
