Alibaba, Tencent lead pivot from chatbots to embodied AI for robotics
Chinese tech companies are racing to deploy artificial intelligence models into robots, shifting the battleground for generative AI from digital chatbots to physical autonomous systems. Alibaba Group Holding’s Qwen3.7-Max model, launched last week, features “tool-calling” capabilities that allow the AI model to act as a digital brain to trigger external software and hardware components. The company said the model could be used to control robots by orchestrating physical actio
Major Chinese tech firms, including Alibaba and Tencent, are redirecting their generative AI efforts towards physical robots, moving beyond the focus on digital chatbots. This strategic shift involves integrating advanced AI models into autonomous systems capable of interacting with the physical world. Alibaba's latest Qwen3.7-Max model exemplifies this trend, boasting "tool-calling" features that enable it to control external software and hardware. This capability allows the AI to orchestrate complex physical actions, such as robot navigation and manipulation.
This pivot signifies a new frontier in AI development, aiming to translate sophisticated language models into tangible, real-world applications in robotics and automation.
