Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) (OTCPK:BABAF) is building its latest artificial intelligence (AI) system into its messaging app DingTalk and a meeting assistant called Tingwu, Bloomberg News reported.
The large language model, or LLM, developed by Alibaba Cloud called Tongyi Qianwen, is now behind the interactions with a new version of the assistant, dubbed Tongyi Tingwu, the report added.
The latest version, which analyzes audio and video files and generate text summaries, has now been opened to the public to try.
The technology will also be fused into messaging app DingTalk.
Following the release of Microsoft (MSFT)-backed OpenAI's ChatGPT, Chinese companies including Alibaba, SenseTime (OTCPK:SNTMF) and Baidu (BIDU) have launched their own generative AI services.
In April, Alibaba unveiled its LLM, noting that its cloud computing unit Alibaba Cloud will roll out its own ChatGPT-like product Tongyi Qianwen, which will have Chinese and English language capabilities.
The fusion of the AI technology with the meeting assistant is aimed at the increasing number of video and audio consumed daily, the report added citing Jingren Zhou, Alibaba's cloud unit tech chief.
According to a recent study, Chinese organizations have launched 79 LLMs in the past three years in an effort to boost their AI technology capabilities.
