Ali Tongyi Qianwen Conquers Silicon Valley! Chinese AI Wins the "Tech Battle of Shangganling", and Global Giants Are Turning Around!
Silicon Valley has brought exciting news. The CEO of global homestay giant Airbnb, Brian Chesky, publicly stated that the company is "heavily relying on Alibaba's Tongyi Qianwen model" and frankly said, "it's better and cheaper than OpenAI."
This statement has sparked heated discussions in Silicon Valley, and he even raised a question: "Is Silicon Valley built on top of Tongyi Qianwen?"
Certainly, this also shows us a new market reality: the global AI competition landscape is undergoing a profound transformation, and Alibaba's Tongyi Qianwen model is winning key clients from American giants.
Airbnb is just the tip of the iceberg. Not long ago, Amazon's humanoid robot control system adopted the Tongyi Qianwen model. It is widely rumored that Apple will also collaborate with Alibaba, planning to introduce Tongyi Qianwen into iPhones, iPads, and Macs in the Chinese market.
Moreover, NVIDIA's Huang Renxun publicly praised Alibaba Cloud's technical strength, and Elon Musk repeatedly praised the technological breakthroughs of Tongyi Qianwen on social media. All of this indicates that Chinese AI is completing a glorious transformation from a technology follower to a rule-maker.
The reason why Tongyi Qianwen has won the favor of these world-class giants is its solid technical strength. At this year's Cloud Summit, Alibaba launched seven models, six of which were selected into the top ten of the HuggingFace global open-source list, which caused a big earthquake in the AI circle at that time.
To date, Alibaba's Tongyi has opened 300+ models, covering all modalities and sizes, with a global download count exceeding 600 million times, and derivative models over 170,000, ranking first globally. On the Hugging Face platform, the number of derivative models of Tongyi Qianwen has exceeded 100,000, and one out of every four developers worldwide is using it. This is the best proof of technological innovation power.
Looking back at Alibaba's investment in the field of AI, the firm commitment of 38 billion yuan over three years, and the continuous efforts of millions of engineers, have finally borne fruit today. From continuously ranking high in global authoritative tests, to successively securing key clients such as Airbnb, Amazon, and Apple, the rise of Tongyi Qianwen is a vivid reflection of China's self-reliance and strength in science and technology.
The capital market can most clearly perceive the value of this shift. The continued rise in Alibaba's stock price, and the rating upgrades by international investors, all confirm that the world is re-evaluating China's AI capabilities. This is not only a commercial success but also represents a fundamental change in China's position in the global technology competition landscape.
If our parents defended the dignity of the homeland with their lives on Shangganling, then we, the current generation, are winning glory for this era through innovation on this no-smoke battlefield of technology. Every technological breakthrough of Tongyi Qianwen is a journey of China's AI expansion globally, and also the mission and responsibility of our generation.
From the difficult moments when top-tier technology was monopolized and blocked, to now achieving breakthroughs in the field of AI, Chinese tech companies have proven with their strength: on the Long March of scientific and technological innovation, we not only can participate, but also set the rules!
