On November 17, 2025, Alibaba unveiled its 'QianWen' project and rolled out the public beta version of the QianWen APP, marking a significant and all - encompassing entry into the AI - to - consumer (AI2C) market.

The QianWen APP is built upon Qwen3, a globally top - tier open - source large language model. It is strategically positioned to go head - to - head with ChatGPT in direct competition.

At present, the public beta version of the QianWen APP can be found on major app stores. Moreover, both web and PC versions are simultaneously accessible to users. The international version, tailored for the global market, is also set to be launched in the near future.

The QianWen APP transcends the role of a mere chat tool. Its ambition is to serve as a gateway to an AI - powered lifestyle. Over time, it plans to seamlessly integrate a wide array of life scenarios, including mapping services, food delivery, and ticket booking. Endowed with robust service capabilities, it aims to offer users a comprehensive AI experience.
