'Tongyi Qianwen' is a chat AI trained on a large-scale Chinese text dataset and is capable of responding in both Chinese and English. It will first be introduced in the business chat app 'DingTalk' and the smart speaker 'Tmall Genie', and then in all Alibaba products.
The official website looks like this. Words such as 'I am a large model that answers human instructions' and 'I serve humanity and strive to make life better' are displayed.

At this stage, only those who have been invited can try it out. There is a button at the bottom that says 'Use invitation code', but when you click it...

You can log in by entering your ID and password, or request an invitation code by phone number. However, since it starts with '+86', it seems that you can only enter Chinese phone numbers.

A user named Zhiwei tried out the service and compared it with Baidu's chat AI 'Ernie Bot' and OpenAI's ChatGPT. According to the test, Tongyi Qianwen outperformed Ernie Bot in content creation tasks and was able to understand complex Chinese better than ChatGPT.
Alibaba claims that Tongyi Qianwen is the world's first AI model with more than 10 trillion parameters. Considering that ChatGPT has 175 billion parameters, Tongyi Qianwen's performance is likely to be quite impressive.
