Chronicle of Technological Development
Fully open the AI era
"Magic Tower Community" has more than 2400 models, 3 million developers and more than 100 million model downloads. Tongyi thousand questions have been open source in succession, and the 72 billion parameter general model Qwen-72B has topped the list of Hugging Face, the global open source big model community. In the same year, Alibaba Cloud Bailian released that developers can develop a large model application within five minutes and "refine" an enterprise specific model within a few hours.
Apsara Cloud Computing Operating System
Apsara is a large-scale general cloud computing operating system independently developed by Alibaba Cloud and serving the world. Based on the two core concepts of "data center as a computer" and "multi-source heterogeneous data online", Apsara will turn one data center into a "supercomputer", realize the aggregation of various computing power, and provide computing services to the public in a multi tenant manner.

Apsara+CIPU architecture
In response to the challenge of "high computing and network transmission delay requirements and overall I/O performance virtualization loss" faced by the traditional CPU centric computing architecture, Alibaba Cloud launched its own cloud infrastructure processor (CIPU). Under the new architecture of Feitian+CIPU, CIPU quickly cloud computing, storage and network resources of the data center downward and accelerate hardware, and access the Apsara Cloud operating system upward. Through software definition and hardware acceleration, CIPU builds core competitiveness of security, stability, performance and cost under elastic multi tenancy.
