A user reported seeing Alibaba Cloud advertising related to the Qwen language model at Changi Airport in Singapore.

Context

Qwen is a family of large language models (LLMs) developed by Alibaba Cloud. The company is investing significantly in the development and marketing of these models, with the aim of competing in the generative artificial intelligence market. The choice of Singapore as a location for this advertising campaign suggests a focus on the Asian market.

For those evaluating on-premise deployments, there are trade-offs to consider. AI-RADAR offers analytical frameworks on /llm-onpremise to evaluate these aspects.
