Alibaba consolidates AI efforts with 'Token Hub'

Alibaba has created a new division, called 'Token Hub', with the aim of centralizing and coordinating its numerous teams dedicated to artificial intelligence. The move is seen as an attempt to improve efficiency and promote greater synergy between the various research and development groups.

The creation of 'Token Hub' suggests a willingness of Alibaba to further invest in AI, considering it a strategic area for future growth. A centralized approach could allow for better allocation of resources, greater knowledge sharing, and faster implementation of new technologies.

This internal reorganization may also reflect the growing importance of generative AI and large language models (LLM) for Alibaba, prompting the company to optimize its structures to compete effectively in this rapidly evolving sector.
