Alibaba Cloud Launches New AI Model Subscription Service for Enterprises and Developers
Alibaba Cloud has unveiled the “Team Edition” of its Token Plan, a major upgrade of its AI model subscription service. Designed specifically for enterprises and developers, this new edition provides a scalable, secure, and flexible solution to integrate cutting-edge multimodal AI into daily office workflows.
Recognizing the unique needs of corporate environments, the Team Edition simplifies the complexities of scaling AI adoption through robust management tools. It offers enterprise-grade multi-seat management that allows administrators to allocate seats with a single click. The service also includes comprehensive usage statistics and cost-control features to provide transparent budgeting. To meet rigorous corporate security and performance requirements, the platform utilizes multi-tenant isolation capabilities, ensuring stable performance during peak usage hours while maintaining the highest standards of enterprise-grade data privacy.
The new service grants users access to over ten leading multimodal models, including Qwen 3.6, Kimi K2.6, GLM 5.1, and Wan 2.7. By ensuring full compatibility with mainstream agent tools such as Qoder, JVS Crew, OpenClaw, and Claude Code, it integrates seamlessly into existing developer environments to address the common challenges associated with scaling subscription services.
Alibaba introduces Fun-ASR1.5: Advancing Multi-language Speech Recognition
Alibaba has unveiled Fun-ASR1.5, a major upgrade to its end-to-end speech recognition model. Supporting 30 languages—including Chinese, English, Japanese, Thai, French, and Arabic—the model ensures high-precision recognition across diverse linguistic regions globally.
A core strength of Fun-ASR 1.5 is its seamless code-switching capability. By utilizing a unified training framework, the model automatically detects and transitions between languages in mixed-lingual dialogues without manual configuration. This makes it an effective solution for multinational collaboration, multilingual content creation, and international conferences. In addition, for Chinese outputs, it delivers “ready-to-use” text featuring intelligent punctuation and automated formatting for dates, currencies, and numerals.
Fun-ASR1.5 is powered by a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture, which employs “on-demand” parameter activation to balance massive scale with high computational efficiency. Combined with a multi-stage pre-training strategy, the accuracy of the model has been enhanced.
Fun-ASR 1.5 is now available via API services on the Alibaba Cloud Model Studio platform. Users can also test out the features on ModelScope.
