Alibaba Pioneers Revenue Share on Open-Weight Models — the First Chinese Lab to Tax Deployment

Alibaba is fundamentally altering the economics of artificial intelligence by pioneering a revenue-share model for its upcoming open-weight models.

This shift marks a departure from the industry standard where open-weight releases have historically served as loss leaders or marketing vehicles to drive cloud infrastructure consumption. Until this pivot, Alibaba's commercial strategy for its AI p
