On January 7, 2025, Beijing Zero One Technology Co., Ltd. issued a statement to refute recent rumors online regarding "Alibaba's acquisition of Zero One Technology." The company clearly stated that these rumors are false and denied any related misinformation. Zero One Technology emphasized that its collaboration with Alibaba Cloud is based on deep joint efforts in technology, computing power, business, and talent, rather than an acquisition relationship.
On January 2, Zero One Technology and Alibaba Cloud jointly announced the launch of the "Industrial Large Model Laboratory," aimed at promoting the application of large model technology in real industry scenarios through strong collaboration, accelerating the implementation and expansion of the industrial large model ecosystem. The cooperation framework between the two parties has been successfully established and is actively promoting related implementation plans.
In its first year of establishment, Zero One Technology focused on the accumulation of large model technology and has reached a leading global level. In the second half of 2024, the company underwent strategic and organizational adjustments, and in 2025, it will focus on application implementation and accelerating business growth. Dr. Kai-Fu Lee, the CEO of the company, stated that 2025 will be a year of testing for large models, a year of application explosion, and a year of commercialization elimination. Zero One Technology hopes to work with all parties to promote the healthy and positive development of the large model ecosystem.
