Alibaba unveils two new AI models
Chinese company Alibaba has launched two new artificial intelligence models that can carry out complex conversations and understand images. The Chinese tech giant's two models -- Qwen-VL and Qwen-VL-Chat -- will be available for researchers, academics and companies so that they can develop their own AI apps without needing to train their own systems.
Alibaba explains that while Qwen-VL can respond to open-ended queries related to different images and generate picture captions, Qwen-VL-Chat can engage in “complex interactions”. For example, it can compare multiple image inputs and answer several rounds of questions.
According to the Chinese tech giant, Qwen-VL-Chat can also perform include writing stories, creating images based on photos that a user inputs and solving mathematical equations shown in a picture.
While until now, companies have only focussed on generating content on the basis of text input by humans but Qwen-VL-Chat, pretty much like the latest version of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, can analyse images and respond in text. The two models are developed on the company’s LLM called Tongyi Qianwen which was released earlier this year.
