The company made this announcement during a conference call with analysts, stating that the demand for training artificial intelligence models on the cloud is so high that they are unable to meet all the requests due to a shortage of processing power.
Alibaba has identified cloud as one of its six business units with clear plans for an IPO. Meanwhile, rival Tencent is also expected to discuss its AI business plans in an upcoming report.
