Alibaba is giving people free access<\/a> to its generative artificial intelligence models that can produce highly realistic videos and images from both text and image input. The company has announced that four variants of its Wan 2.1 series, the latest version of its generative AI technology, are now open source and can be downloaded and modified by users. Researchers, academics and commercial entities can all get them from Alibaba Cloud’s ModelScope and Hugging Face platforms, both of which give people access to open-source AI models. As Reuters<\/em><\/a> said, the models Alibaba has open sourced are called T2V-1.3B, T2V-14B, I2V-14B-720P and I2V-14B-480P, with the 14B indicating that the model can accept 14 billion parameters.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last month, Chinese company DeepSeek<\/a> made its R1 reasoning model free to download and use, creating a clamor for more open-source AI technologies. DeepSeek even expanded<\/a> its commitment to the open-source community and is in the process of releasing five code repositories behind its service.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Alibaba was one of the companies that joined the fray<\/a> to develop generative AI tech following the launch of OpenAI’s ChatGPT two years ago. Just recently, Alibaba Group’s Chairman, Joe Tsai, said that the company’s generative AI technology will power artificial intelligence features for iPhones<\/a> meant for sale in the Chinese market. Apple couldn’t use the same AI tech for phones released in China due to strict regulations surrounding AI products, so it has to look for local partners, Alibaba being one of them.<\/p>\n
