Alibaba tests new business model for Qwen open-source AI

Alibaba is planning to introduce revenue-sharing terms for some commercial users of its upcoming Qwen AI model, as reported by Reuters. This arrangement will require larger companies generating revenue from offering the model as a service to reach a commercial agreement with Alibaba. The exact revenue-sharing rate has yet to be finalized, but these measures are expected to be introduced with the next open-source model.
