The company's Qwen models have been deployed by over 90,000 enterprise customers since May. This move is part of a trend in China where tech giants such as Tencent, Baidu, JD.com, Huawei and ByteDance are developing their own LLMs. Experts believe this shift could democratize AI capabilities, allowing smaller startups to compete with massive tech companies and enabling traditional businesses to adopt state-of-the-art technology.
