Alibaba DAMO Academy is the AI research and technology division of Alibaba Group, conducting fundamental research in machine learning, computer vision, natural language processing, quantum computing, and semiconductor design while simultaneously developing and deploying AI products and models across the Alibaba commercial ecosystem including e-commerce, cloud computing, and digital payments. The Hangzhou organisation has published extensively in top AI venues and developed the Tongyi Qianwen family of large language models.\n\nFully funded and operated as part of Alibaba Group (NYSE: BABA), DAMO Academy operates without independent external funding, accessing the significant capital allocation and computing resources of one of the world largest e-commerce and cloud companies. The Tongyi Qianwen models are deployed in Alibaba Cloud AI services and in consumer applications including Quark search and Alibaba Genie smart home AI, with the model family made available through the Alibaba Cloud Model Studio API platform for enterprise customers.\n\nAlibaba DAMO competes in AI research and foundation model development against Baidu AI, ByteDance AI, and Tencent AI Labs domestically, and publishes research that is tracked internationally alongside Google DeepMind, Meta AI, and Microsoft Research. The DAMO Academy structure as an internal research organisation embedded within a trillion-dollar commerce and cloud platform gives it access to internet-scale datasets and deployment opportunities that independent AI labs cannot match, at the cost of commercial independence and the focused mission that characterises the best independent research organisations.
