Chinese technology giants are actively expanding their efforts to enhance artificial intelligence solutions for business customers, with a particular focus on small and micro enterprises. One such company is Alibaba’s DingTalk, a work communication and collaboration platform, which is currently working on creating an infrastructure for large language models (LLMs) that can be easily accessed by application developers and small businesses. DingTalk already hosts more than 10 million applications by third-party developers, out of which over eight million are light applications.
The primary goal of DingTalk is to serve small and micro businesses and contribute to the revitalization of economic development through the adoption of digital operation models and lightweight software. To achieve this, DingTalk has formed partnerships with various ecosystem partners, including software and hardware providers, and independent software vendors.
These partnerships have already exceeded 5,000 since the commercialization of DingTalk’s product suite last year. While the basic model remains free, DingTalk offers upgraded models for enterprises seeking customized features.
In the race for artificial intelligence dominance, Alibaba Cloud stands out as one of the first local companies to introduce a smart robotic assistant called Tongyi Qianwen. This ChatGPT-like service, unveiled in April, enables audio and video file analysis and generates text summaries. By offering a full-stack product and cutting-edge technology, Alibaba Cloud aims to gain an advantage over competitors who primarily focus on specific layers of the technology stack. The DingTalk Ecosystem Conference also showcased robotic assistants designed for office administration across different industries.
Alibaba’s Cloud Intelligence Group, which includes Alibaba Cloud, DingTalk, and other businesses, reported a year-on-year revenue increase of 4 percent, amounting to 25.12 billion yuan for the second quarter ending on June 30. Meanwhile, Tencent, another prominent Chinese tech firm, announced plans to test its own large language model internally and release a proprietary artificial intelligence model later this year. During its quarterly earnings conference call, Tencent emphasized its commitment to developing a powerful language model to support generative AI and other applications.
Tencent’s chairman and chief executive, Ma Huateng, stated that the company would continue driving innovation through generative AI and offer a library of models to partners through its Tencent Cloud Model-as-a-Service (MaaS) offering. Furthermore, Tencent is dedicated to refining its own foundation model, further strengthening its position in the market.
