Visit official site

What Tongyi Qianwen is

Tongyi Qianwen is the large language model product launched by Alibaba Cloud. It accepts text, images and audio, covers content creation, translation, question answering and office automation, and is also exposed through APIs so enterprises and developers can build it into their own products.

What you can do with it

  • Draft marketing copy and longer documents
  • Translate and summarise material quickly
  • Answer product questions in a chat interface
  • Use it inside DingTalk for everyday work tasks
  • Call the API to add model features to your own software

Who it is for

  • Alibaba Cloud and DingTalk customers
  • Chinese-speaking teams wanting a localised assistant
  • Developers building Chinese-language features

What to watch out for

  • Output reads fluently even when wrong; verify facts before publishing
  • API usage has contractual terms worth reading before integrating it into a product
  • Uploaded business documents are processed by a third party
  • Multimodal input means images and audio join your data trail
