Alibaba has officially renamed its Tongyi app to "Qianwen," with the update now available on both Apple and Android platforms. The app's version number has jumped from 3 to 5.0.0, and its user interface has been revamped to align more closely with ChatGPT's design. An overseas version of Qianwen is reportedly in development. This rebranding comes as Alibaba faces increased competition in the AI sector, particularly after its AI assistant Quark was overtaken in daily active users by ByteDance's Doubao in October. The launch of Qianwen is part of Alibaba's strategy to revitalize its AI offerings and strengthen its position in the market.
