Alibaba plans revenue sharing for its latest AI model

Alibaba is changing how it handles its open source AI. The company plans to ask big businesses to share their revenue if they make money by selling access to the new Qwen model. This marks a shift from a completely free model to one that includes commercial deals.

Only companies that generate significant income from the software will be affected by these rules. The goal is to create a sustainable way to fund the technology while keeping it available for smaller users and developers.

Details about the specific payment rates are not public yet. Alibaba has not officially confirmed the plan, but it shows how major tech firms are looking for new ways to make their AI projects profitable.
