Alibaba Group Holding Limited, which is listed on the NYSE under BABA, has announced that it will be integrating its highly advanced artificial intelligence system into its messaging app DingTalk and a meeting assistant called Tingwu. This move ensures that Alibaba stays current with the growing demands of audio and video. The large language model (LLM), named Tongyi Qianwen, will be used in facilitating interactions with the Tingwu assistant, which analyses audio and video files and generates text summaries.

The trend of ChatGPT has created a frenzy, and other major companies like Baidu are not being surpassed. As a result, this has led to the release of LLMs by companies worldwide, ranging from internet players like Alibaba and Baidu, Inc to hardware companies like Asustek Computer Inc.
