(Bloomberg/Luz Ding) — Alibaba Group Holdings Ltd. is integrating Nvidia Corp.’s suite of artificial intelligence development tools for so-called physical AI into its cloud software platform.
The Hangzhou-based company’s Cloud Intelligence unit will offer customers the option to employ Nvidia’s tools in building AI for the physical world, spanning everything from humanoid robots to self-driving cars. It’s a notable collaboration between two of the leading names in AI development, bringing together the US chip designer with one of China’s top cloud computing and service providers.
Alibaba Cloud’s Platform for AI will include the full Nvidia Physical AI software stack among its menu of options for developers, the company said at its annual Apsara developer conference in Hangzhou on Wednesday. The announcement came shortly after Chief Executive Officer Eddie Wu revealed plans to hike Alibaba’s investment in AI infrastructure from the previously announced 380 billion yuan ($53 billion), boosting the company’s shares to their highest in almost four years.
