Alibaba is testing a new business model for its Qwen open-source AI model, which involves revenue-sharing terms for commercial users. Under this arrangement, larger companies that use the model to generate revenue will need to enter into a commercial agreement with Alibaba. The exact terms of the revenue-sharing rate have not been disclosed. This move aims to balance the benefits of open-source AI with the need for revenue generation. The outcome of this test could have implications for the future of open-source AI development and its commercial applications.
