[Alibaba Plans to Charge Revenue Share from Major Clients of Next-Generation Open-Source AI Models] According to Deep Tide TechFlow on August 7, citing sources from Reuters, Alibaba plans to introduce commercialization terms next week for its next-generation open-source, open-weight AI model Qwen3.8-Max. The company intends to require revenue sharing from clients who use the model as a service for external sales and reach a certain scale. The report states that Alibaba previously charged fees primarily for models hosted on its cloud platform, while most open-source models could be used for free when deployed in clients' own data centers. This move is similar to the licensing model of Dark Side of the Moon's Kimi K3, which requires service providers with annual sales exceeding $20 million to enter into a commercial agreement, with revenue sharing rates reaching up to 30%. The report highlights that this reflects a growing trend among Chinese AI companies to adopt a business model of 'low-cost open-source entry, charging for heavy commercial use.'
