Alibaba is fully committed to AI e-commerce by establishing the Taotian Group AI team. Pinduoduo's remarkably high efficiency raises concerns for Alibaba, prompting an urgent need to enhance efficiency. Pinduoduo's social e-commerce model disrupts traditional practices, presenting significant challenges for Alibaba. Both Alibaba and Pinduoduo highly value the application of large models in e-commerce. AI e-commerce has become a new battleground with intense competition between Alibaba and Pinduoduo.

Pinduoduo has established a large model team consisting of dozens of members to explore applications of large models in customer service and dialogue scenarios, extending to intelligent customer service, search, and recommendation in its cross-border e-commerce platform TEMU. Pinduoduo is starting to recruit talent in the large model field, with numerous positions offering annual salaries of over a million. The applications of large models aim to enhance shopping experiences and sales conversion rates, as well as improve operational efficiency and management levels.
