Tongyi AI, a subsidiary of Alibaba, publicly clarified recent marketing investment data for AI products that was circulated online. Previously, it was reported that multiple AI products had advertising expenditures reaching the hundred million level in the third quarter, which attracted significant attention, particularly regarding specific figures related to Tongyi Qianwen. According to Tongyi AI's official response, the rumored figures of 4.5 million investment for Tongyi Qianwen in Q3 and 900,000 in the first 20 days of October are severely inconsistent with the actual situation. The official statement clearly indicated that the actual investment is far lower than the rumored figures, but did not disclose the real investment amount.
