FLock.io, the private AI training platform, has announced a collaboration with Alibaba Cloud, the digital technology and intelligence backbone of Alibaba Group, to harness Alibaba Cloud's Large Language Model(LLM) Qwen and cloud technologies to create advanced AI models for both domain-specific and general purposes.
Under the collaboration, FLock.io will create various AI models utilizing infrastructure and products from Alibaba Cloud. In the future, both sides will leverage their technical expertise to explore research opportunities and use cases in AI fields.
Beyond technical integration, FLock.io will cooperate with Alibaba Cloud to facilitate joint research initiatives, leveraging the collective knowledge and resources to explore new applications in both centralized and decentralized artificial intelligence.
"Partnering with Alibaba Cloud’s Qwen represents a transformative step forward for FLock.io. By leveraging the strengths of blockchain technology and federated learning, we are creating an environment where secure, privacy-preserving model training can drive real-world innovation,” said Jiahao Sun, Founder and CEO of FLock.io. “This collaboration goes beyond merely constructing superior AI models; it represents decentralized AI and blockchain technology successfully penetrating traditional AI sectors and achieving their product-market fit.”
Qwen, developed by Alibaba Cloud, is one of the most advanced open-source LLMs available today. Since its debut in April 2023, Qwen has been adopted by over 290,000 enterprises across industries, from automotive, manufacturing, and finance to gaming, healthcare, and robotics. Accessible via Alibaba Cloud's generative AI development platform Model Studio, Qwen has been embraced by global businesses and developers.
