At a recent press conference, Alibaba's international AI team unveiled their latest multi-modal large model, Ovis. This innovative AI technology undoubtedly brings new opportunities to various industries. Ovis boasts powerful image understanding and data processing capabilities, offering a refreshing experience.

Ovis's multi-modal capabilities are extremely robust; it can handle text, images, and various other data types, demonstrating outstanding comprehensive strength. Compared to traditional large language models, Ovis not only understands text but also performs in-depth analysis of non-text information such as images.

For instance, users need only upload a photo of a dish, and Ovis can quickly identify it and provide detailed cooking instructions, helping users easily prepare delicious meals.
