Alibaba Group has anonymously released a new AI video generation model called HappyHorse-1.0, which rose to the top of an AI model leaderboard and attracted a lot of attention on social media, according to two people with knowledge of Alibaba’s involvement. The new video model is the Chinese tech giant’s latest effort to step up its fight against its major rival ByteDance in all areas of AI, from models to applications to AI cloud services. Alibaba hasn’t publicly said it is the developer of the HappyHorse model. But Alibaba’s cloud computing unit is preparing to make the new model available to its enterprise customers, according to one of the people.
