Alibaba Cloud, the digital technology and intelligence backbone of Alibaba Group, is empowering enterprises to use various large language models (LLMs) to customize their generative AI capabilities via AnalyticDB vector engine.
Through an innovative integration framework, enterprises can input sector-specific knowledge into their vector databases, enabling them to build and launch generative AI applications in as little as 30 minutes.
Building enterprise-specific generative AI models using fine-tuned training data can be a costly endeavour. However, the one-stop solution powered by AnalyticDB vector engine effectively lowers the financial and technical thresholds while offering strong cloud-native enterprise-level data protections through the Alibaba Cloud database management platform.
AnalyticDB has already been utilized to support customers’ demand in scenarios such as text search and image search on e-commerce platforms with enhanced accuracy.
“As enterprises globally discern how best to adopt and use generative AI, we are seeing an increasing demand from our customers for database services that can support the creation of efficient, scalable, affordable and customizable AI models. With our upgraded AnalyticDB analytical database, enterprises can now leverage generative AI models that are tailored using their own knowledge base.” said Feifei Li, President of Database Products Business, Alibaba Cloud Intelligence.
Alibaba Cloud also upgraded its one-stop, cloud-native data management and data serving platform by introducing ApsaraDB HTAP (Hybrid Transactional & Analytical Processing), a dynamic solution that integrates cloud-native database PolarDB and cloud-native data warehouse AnalyticDB to provide comprehensive data processing and analysis capabilities to international customers.
“The trend of cloud-native, data fabric, integration, intelligent is driving the new wave of innovation for databases and has become the de facto standard of database industry. We look forward to further investing in our cloud-native database systems and finding new ways to help our customers grow amidst a rapidly changing business landscape,” said Feifei.
