阿里云AI模型价格大幅下调85%，追平字节跳动，中国市场大战激烈

该公告于 2024 年最后一天发布，标志着阿里云今年第三次下调人工智能价格，此前 TikTok 母公司字节跳动也采取了类似举措

Alibaba Cloud, Alibaba Group Holding’s cloud computing division, has slashed prices on its visual reasoning artificial intelligence (AI) model by up to 85 per cent in the latest move in a price war among domestic AI services providers.

阿里巴巴集团旗下的云计算部门阿里云已将其视觉推理人工智能（AI）模型的价格下调了高达85%，这是国内人工智能服务提供商之间价格战的最新举措。

The announcement, made on the last day of 2024, marks the third AI price cut by Alibaba Cloud this year and follows similar moves by TikTok parent ByteDance as China’s Big Tech firms try to woo users in a crowded market.

这一公告于 2024 年最后一天发布，标志着阿里云今年第三次下调人工智能价格，此前 TikTok 母公司字节跳动也采取了类似举措，因为中国大型科技公司试图在拥挤的市场中吸引用户。

The cost for using Qwen-vl-max, Alibaba Cloud’s most advanced visual model, has been cut to 0.003 yuan (US$0.00041) per thousand input token uses, according to the new pricing.

根据新定价，阿里云最先进的视觉模型 Qwen-vl-max 的使用成本已降至每千次输入代币使用 0.003 元（0.00041 美元）。

The adjustment will position Qwen-vl-max as a direct competitor to a similar visual model that ByteDance launched in the middle of the month in terms of cost, underscoring the intense rivalry in China’s AI market.

此次调整将使Qwen-vl-max在成本方面成为字节跳动本月中旬推出的类似视觉模型的直接竞争对手，凸显出中国人工智能市场的激烈竞争。

ByteDance introduced a new model with “visual understanding” capabilities at a corporate event earlier this month. The pricing level of 0.003 yuan per thousand token users was 85 per cent lower than the industry average, Tan Dai, president of ByteDance’s Volcano Engine cloud unit, said at the time.

字节跳动在本月初的一次企业活动中推出了具有“视觉理解”功能的新模型。字节跳动火山引擎云部门总裁谭岱当时表示，每千代币用户 0.003 元的定价水平比行业平均水平低 85%。
