AliQuark is reportedly advancing a secretive AI project known as "Plan C," focusing on conversational AI applications. Led by Quark's core team and senior members from Tongyi Lab, the initiative is set to unveil its first results soon, though these are considered interim. The project, which has been in development for an extended period, is described as requiring significant long-term investment and technological breakthroughs. Speculation surrounds the codename "Plan C," with theories suggesting it could stand for "Chat" or reference the game "Pac-Man," hinting at a strategic target. Quark has not commented on these reports.
