Alibaba Plans To Charge Big AI Users
Alibaba plans to start charging large companies that use its newest artificial intelligence model, according to industry sources.
Alibaba, a major technology company, is getting ready to release its next big artificial intelligence model. Artificial intelligence, or AI, is computer software that can think, write, and answer questions like a human.
Who has to pay
Even though the software is open-source, which means anyone can look at and use the code for free, big companies that use it a lot will soon have to pay money. Smaller users and regular developers will likely still be able to use parts of it without paying.
Why companies do this
Making smart computer models costs a lot of money and uses powerful computers. By charging very large companies, tech businesses can make money back to build even better technology in the future.
