On November 17, Alibaba made a significant announcement: its 'QianWen' project is making a sweeping entry into the AI market targeting consumers (C-end). The public beta version of the QianWen APP was rolled out simultaneously on both mobile and PC platforms, setting the stage for a direct showdown with ChatGPT at the application level.

Built upon the globally cutting-edge open-source model Qwen3, the APP is offered free of charge and is designed to support a wide array of multi-scenario services. These include generating professional reports and offering health consultations tailored to everyday life situations. Looking ahead, Alibaba has ambitious plans to integrate a range of ecosystem services such as maps, food delivery, and ticket booking into the APP, aiming to create a unified portal for AI services. Additionally, the company will gradually introduce an international version to tap into the global market.
