This year, Alibaba Cloud's AI capabilities and large model products have been globally recognized as industry leaders in rankings by several renowned international institutions, including Gartner, Forrester, and Omdia.
In Gartner® Innovation Guide for Generative AI Technologies, Generative AI Team, 9 December 2024, Alibaba Cloud was named as an Emerging Leader in Gartner's Emerging Market Quadrant in 2024 Innovation Guide for Generative AI Technologies:
• AI Knowledge Management Apps/General Productivity

Previously, according to Gartner® reports, Alibaba Cloud was the only Chinese company included in the Challengers Quadrant in several Magic Quadrant rankings, including the Magic Quadrant™ for Cloud AI Developer Services, the Magic Quadrant™ for Data Science and Machine Learning Platforms, and the Magic Quadrant™ for AI Code Assistants.
According to Gartner's ® "Hype Cycle™ for Banking Product and Service Innovation, 2024" report, Alibaba Cloud is the only Chinese cloud service provider included in the maturity curve for banking products and services innovation. Notably, it is recognized as a global leader in areas such as Banking AI Models as a Service, Foundational Models, and Banking Hybrid Cloud.
In addition to its technological leadership, Alibaba Cloud has also demonstrated strong market performance:
In Forrester's Wave™ evaluation for Public Cloud Development and Infrastructure Platforms, Alibaba Cloud received the highest scores in 17 out of 30 criteria, ranking second globally in terms of product and strategic capabilities.
According to the Omdia report, Alibaba Cloud was placed in the Leaders Quadrant in the evaluation of commercial foundational models in China, ranking first nationwide in both the vertical and horizontal dimensions.
Several leading analytical institutions have noted that the global cloud computing market's competitive focus is shifting from infrastructure to AI capability development. Centered on AI, Alibaba Cloud is comprehensively redefining core components such as hardware, computing, storage, networking, databases, and big data. By seamlessly adapting and integrating these with AI scenarios, it is accelerating model development and deployment, building the most robust AI infrastructure for the AI era.
The synergy between cloud and AI has been Alibaba Cloud's foundational strategy over the past year. At this year's Cloud Summit, Alibaba Cloud announced a comprehensive upgrade to its AI-centered full-stack AI infrastructure. With optimized full-stack infrastructure, Alibaba Cloud achieved continuous model training efficiency above 99% and improved model computing resource utilization by over 20%.
As one of the earliest tech companies to pioneer large model technology, Alibaba Cloud's Tongyi Model family now fully supports all modalities, including text, images, video, and audio, ranking among the global leaders in performance. The Tongyi models are continuously open-sourced and have become the most popular domestically developed large models among enterprises and developers. The Qwen series derivative models have now reached 74,300 in number, surpassing Llama for the first time to become the largest generative language model family in the world.
