Alibaba reportedly plans to charge large customers of its open-source models, following Kimi K3 revenue-sharing model

Chinese tech giant Alibaba is reportedly planning to introduce charges for large enterprise clients that use its open-source AI models, according to media reports. The decision is seen as a follow-up to the revenue-sharing model adopted by Moonshot AI for its Kimi K3 model. By implementing this pricing strategy, Alibaba aims to generate revenue from its open-source offerings, which have traditionally been free. The move is likely to impact how enterprises adopt and utilize open-source AI in China.
