Alibaba Cloud has open sourced two of its generative AI models, Qwen-7B and Qwen-7B-Chat, for commercial and research use.
The models' codes and documentation will be accessible through Alibaba Cloud's AI model repository ModelScope and the US collaborative AI platform Hugging Face.
Companies with fewer than 100 million monthly active users can use the models for commercial purposes free of charge, while those with more users will need to request a license.
Alibaba aims to democratize AI technology and support LLM start-ups.
Alibaba Cloud's ModelScope platform currently features over 1,000 ready-to-use AI models contributed by 20 leading AI institutions.
