Alibaba’s release of the Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B open weights is not a surrender to the open-source ethos; it is a calculated exercise in platform capture. By abandoning the permissive Apache 2.0 license used for previous iterations in favor of a restrictive, custom Qwen3.8-Max License, Alibaba is drawing a hard line around the commercial value of its frontier-class […]

Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:BABA) plans to introduce a revenue-sharing model for commercial users of its upcoming Qwen3.8-Max open-source AI model. The company aims to monetize open-weight AI deployments through royalties paid by businesses that use Qwen3.8-Max in commercial products and services. This move makes Alibaba the first Chinese AI lab to formally tie open-weight model usage to a royalty-based revenue framework. As large language models start to reshape how software and services...

Apple has published a guide explaining how eligible Mac users in mainland China can connect Alibaba's Qwen artificial-intelligence service to the U.S. tech giant's Siri digital assistant and Writing Tools feature. The Mac-specific arrangement could help Apple compete in China's AI PC market, where it has been losing market share as domestic manufacturers such as Lenovo have promoted locally developed AI features. • Qwen is Chinese ecommerce giant Alibaba's family of generative-AI models, which can create text and images and analyse documents, photos and other material in response to user prompts.
Alibaba is pioneering a revenue-share model on open-weight Qwen3.8, the first Chinese lab to formalize monetization beyond API pricing. Tests whether Max-class performance can command deployment royalties.

Alibaba (BABA) plans to demand revenue share from major users of the next version of its Qwen open-s

<body><p>STORY: :: Stephen Nellis, Technology Correspondent</p><p>So why might Alibaba, the Chinese tech giant that's taken the world by storm, by offering a free download of its cutting edge AI, want to start charging money just like its rivals in the United States? </p><p>:: San Francisco, California / August 6, 2026</p><p>Like all major AI companies, Alibaba spends a ton of money training and developing its AI models. So like all companies, Alibaba wants to recoup some of that cost. Now they've always charged money if you want to buy it directly from Ali Cloud, but if you wanted to run it in your own data center, you could do that without necessarily paying Alibaba. That might change as soon as next week. </p><p>The U.S. labs are largely what's called closed source. That means you can only really access their models by going directly to them and paying them to get it from their data centers. Now, companies like Alibaba offer it on that basis too, but you can also download the model and run it in your own data center without necessarily having to pay them. That is changing. A few weeks ago, Moonshot, the creator of the Kimi K3 model, put out a model that you can run in your own data center. But if you make more than $20 million a year, you need to work at a commercial agreement with them that we understand from our sources involves sharing quite a bit of your revenue. We understand from those same sources that Alibaba is poised to do the same thing as soon as next week. </p><p>One of the questions this raises is whether this new strategy from the Chinese AI companies is trouble for U.S. companies like OpenAI. In the short term, probably so. These Chinese companies have been able to offer extremely competitive technology in terms of what the models can do at a much lower price, sometimes at about a third of the price of US models. However, these models are still very expensive to operate. So over the long term, most of the sources in the AI community think that these prices will start to come closer together and it'll be a much more vigorous competition between the two countries and the labs in each. </p></body>
