Exclusive-Alibaba plans to charge big users of its next open-source AI model, sources say
Alibaba plans to implement a revenue-sharing model for major users of its upcoming Qwen3.8-Max open-source AI model, requiring them to share a portion of their earnings. This move aligns with a similar strategy adopted by Chinese AI startup Moonshot, which mandates revenue sharing for users generating over $20 million annually. As Chinese AI firms release competitive models, they are establishing business frameworks to challenge U.S. counterparts in the market.
