China's Alibaba Links Qwen AI App to Vast Consumer Ecosystem

From: The Wall Street Journal

Alibaba Group is rolling out a major update of its Qwen app, integrating the chatbot into its ecosystem and allowing it to carry out tasks on users' behalf.

With the update, users can ask Qwen to perform actions such as ordering milk tea and booking flights, rather than navigating different apps by themselves. Alibaba has connected the Qwen app to the company's core ecosystem, including e-commerce platform Taobao and online travel agency Fliggy. This means users can complete transactions entirely within Qwen without navigating to other Alibaba apps, though this functionality is only supported for food-delivery transactions for now.

"What we are launching today represents a shift from models that understand to systems that act--deeply connected to real-world services," said Wu Jia, a vice president at Alibaba, during at a launch event in Hangzhou, China, on Thursday.

The Qwen app also debuted a new "task assistant" feature, currently available for invited users. The assistant can help users to make phone calls, or process up to 100 documents simultaneously.

The rollout reflects Alibaba's broader push to turn Qwen from a standalone chatbot to an entry point for its consumer internet ecosystem, as large technology companies race to develop AI systems that can move beyond answering questions to executing real-world tasks across multiple services.

The move comes amid a global push to make AI systems more agent-like. In October, OpenAI integrated a number of apps that users can interact with inside the chatbot, such as music-streaming app Spotify and travel agency Booking.com.

Launched in November, the Qwen app has surpassed 100 million monthly active users within two months of its release.

China's Alibaba Links Qwen AI App to Vast Consumer Ecosystem

From: The Wall Street Journal

Alibaba Group is rolling out a major update of its Qwen app, integrating the chatbot into its ecosystem and allowing it to carry out tasks on users' behalf.

阿里巴巴集团(Alibaba Group)正对旗下千问(Qwen)应用进行重大更新，把该聊天机器人整合到该公司的生态系统中，并允许它代表用户执行任务。

roll out

rollout作名词时，表示“首次提供（产品或服务）”，英文解释为“the act of making something, especially a product or service, available for the first time”举个🌰：Since its rollout in 2011, Wechat has gained billions of members. 自从2011年首次提供使用以来，微信已经吸引了数以亿计的用户。

📍2020年政府工作报告Part 12中就提到：We will support the rollout of e-commerce and express delivery services in rural areas to expand rural consumption. 支持电商、快递进农村，拓展农村消费。

📍roll out 动词短语，表示“推出（新产品或服务）”，英文解释为“If a company rolls out a new product or service, or if the product or service rolls out, it is made available to the public.”举个🌰：Microsoft rolls out its new operating system. 微软推出了它的新操作系统。

📍此外，roll out还有另一个含义，表示“将…轧平”，英文解释为“to make sth flat by pushing sth over it”举个🌰：Roll out the pastry. 将油酥面团擀平。

🎬电影《老爸上战场》（Dad's Army）中刚好有这个例句：Shall I roll out the pastry? 我要把面团轧平吗？

integrate

integrate /ˈɪn.tɪ.ɡreɪt/ 1）表示“使合并，使成为一体”，英文解释为“to combine two or more things in order to become more effective”举个🌰：You need to integrate exercise into your normal life. 你必须让锻炼成为你日常生活的一部分。

2）表示“（使）融入（某社会或群体）；（使）成为一体”，英文解释为“to mix with and join society or a group of people, often changing to suit their way of life, habits, and customs”举个🌰：He seems to find it difficult to integrate socially. 他似乎觉得很难与别人打成一片。

ecosystem

ecosystem /ˈiː.kəʊˌsɪs.təm/ 表示“生态系统”，英文解释为“all the living things in an area and the way they affect each other and the environment”举个🌰：Pollution can have disastrous effects on the delicately balanced ecosystem. 污染会对脆弱的生态平衡造成灾难性的破坏。

此次更新后，用户可以要求千问执行点奶茶、订机票等操作，而无需亲自浏览不同的应用程序。阿里巴巴已将千问应用与该公司的核心生态系统相连，包括电商平台淘宝(Taobao)和在线旅行社飞猪(Fliggy)。这意味着用户完全可以在千问内完成交易，而无需跳转到阿里巴巴旗下的其他应用，不过该功能目前仅支持外卖交易。

navigate

navigate /ˈnæv.ɪ.ɡeɪt/ 1）表示“浏览，访问（网站）”，英文解释为“to move around a website or computer screen, or between websites or screens”举个🌰：Their website is fairly plain, but very easy to navigate. 他们的网站页面比较简单，但浏览起来很便捷。

2）表示“导航，确定…的方向”，英文解释为“to direct the way that a ship, aircraft, etc. will travel, or to find a direction across, along, or over an area of water or land, often by using a map”举个🌰：There weren't any road signs to help us navigate through the maze of one-way streets. 没有任何路标可以指引我们穿过像迷宫似的单行街道。

transaction

transaction /trænˈzæk.ʃən/ 表示“交易”，英文解释为“an occasion when someone buys or sells something, or when money is exchanged or the activity of buying or selling something”

阿里巴巴副总裁吴嘉周四在中国杭州的一场发布会上表示，新推出的产品代表着一种转变，即从能理解的模型转向能行动的系统，与现实世界的服务深度连接。

The Qwen app also debuted a new "task assistant" feature, currently available for invited users. The assistant can help users to make phone calls, or process up to 100 documents simultaneously.

千问应用还首次推出新的“任务助手”功能，目前仅供受邀用户使用。该助手可以帮助用户拨打电话，或同时处理最多100份文件。

debut

debut /ˈdeɪ.bju/ 作动词，表示“首演，首次登台；首次亮相”，英文解释为“to perform or be introduced to the public for the first time”举个🌰：The Broadway show debuted last year to great acclaim. 这个百老汇节目去年首次演出就受到了广泛赞扬。

作名词，表示“（演员、运动员等的）首次登台，初次亮相；新事物的问世”，英文解释为“The debut of a performer or sports player is their first public performance, appearance, or recording.”举个🌰：She made her debut in a 1937 production of "Hamlet." 她在1937年《哈姆雷特》的演出中首次登台。

simultaneously

simultaneously /ˌsɪm.əlˈteɪ.ni.əs.li/ 表示“同时地”，英文解释为“in a way that is simultaneous (= happening or being done at exactly the same time)”举个🌰：Two children answered the teacher's question simultaneously. 两个孩子同时回答了老师的问题。

此举反映出阿里巴巴更广泛的努力，即希望将千问从一个独立的聊天机器人转变为其消费者互联网生态系统的入口。在大型科技公司竞相开发AI系统之际，这些系统正从回答问题转向跨多种服务执行现实世界任务。

standalone

standalone /ˈstændəˌləʊn/ 表示“（计算机）独立运行的；（公司）独立的”，英文解释为“standalone software or a standalone computer works on its own without being part of a set, or without being connected to other computers”

execute

execute /ˈek.sɪ.kjuːt/ 常见的意思表示“（尤指有计划地）执行，实施，履行，表演”，英文解释为“to do something that has been carefully planned formal”举个🌰：The whole play was executed with great precision. 这出戏从头到尾表演得丝丝入扣，有板有眼。

此外，还有“（依法）将…处死”的意思，英文解释为“to kill someone, especially legally as a punishment”举个🌰：One group claimed to have executed the hostage. 一个组织声称他们已处死了那名人质。

此举正值全球推动AI系统更趋智能体化之际。去年10月，OpenAI整合了许多应用，用户可以在其聊天机器人内部与这些应用互动，例如音乐流媒体应用Spotify和旅行社缤客(Booking.com)。

Launched in November, the Qwen app has surpassed 100 million monthly active users within two months of its release.

千问应用于11月推出，在发布后两个月内，月度活跃用户已超过1亿。

surpass

surpass /səˈpɑːs/ 表示“超过，优于，胜过”，英文解释为“to do or be better than”举个🌰：His time for the 100 metres surpassed the previous world record by one hundredth of a second. 他以0.01秒的优势打破了100米短跑的前世界纪录。
