Alibaba Group Holding Limited's (NASDAQ:BABA) fintech affiliate Ant Group Co is developing large-language model technology to power ChatGPT-style services.

The Jack Ma-backed affiliate's "Zhen Yi" project involves a dedicated unit and will deploy in-house research, Bloomberg reports.

Ant invested nearly 20.5 billion yuan ($2.8 billion) in R&D in 2023, doubling the company's annual spending on such efforts versus 2019.

Ant's move marks its attempts to compete with Alibaba, Baidu Inc (NASDAQ: BIDU), and SenseTime Group Inc (OTC:SNTMF). The efforts mirror  Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGLGoogle and Microsoft Corp's (NASDAQ:MSFT) exploration of generative AI capable of creating original content from poetry to art just with simple user prompts.

Price Action: BABA shares traded lower by 0.69% at $87.32 premarket on the last check Wednesday.
