On March 13, Alibaba officially unveiled New Quark, its latest AI flagship application. Built on Alibaba’s Qwen AI models, including advanced inference and multimodal capabilities, New Quark transforms into an “AI Super Frame”—an all-in-one intelligent assistant designed for 200 million users.
Beyond Search: The Evolution into an AI Super Frame
Unlike traditional search engines or chatbot-based AI products, New Quark aims to integrate AI dialogue, deep search, research, and execution into a single, minimalistic interface. Users can simply input a command, and the Quark AI Hub will automatically recognize intent, plan the workflow, and deploy different AI models and agent modules to complete tasks.
Currently, New Quark supports a wide range of AI-powered functions, including:
✅ AI Search
✅ AI Writing & Image Generation
✅ AI Presentation (PPT) Creation
✅ Academic Research Assistance
✅ AI-Powered Homework & Exam Solutions
✅ AI Health Q&A
✅ Travel Planning & Recommendations
Alibaba’s AI Vision: A Gateway to the Future
Wu Jia, Vice President of Alibaba Group and CEO of Quark, emphasized that this is just the beginning:
“We envision the AI Super Frame as a gateway to the AI world—like Doraemon’s pocket, where users can access cutting-edge AI capabilities effortlessly.”
In Alibaba’s recent earnings call, CEO Wu Yongming reiterated the company’s long-term AI strategy, which includes:
🔹 Investing in AI & cloud infrastructure
🔹 Enhancing foundational AI models & platforms
🔹 Driving AI-powered transformation across existing businesses
Alibaba has been accelerating AI development with the recent launch of Qwen2.5-VL, Qwen2.5-Max, Tongyi Wanxiang 2.1, and QWQ-32B, some of the most powerful open-source AI models globally. New Quark will be the first to integrate these models, ensuring users instant access to the latest AI advancements.
Quark’s Market Dominance & Future Prospects
According to the AIGC RANK China AI App Report (Jan 2025), Quark leads the AI application market with an average of 33.69 million daily active users (DAUs), ranking #1 among AI-powered apps in China. Analysts believe that the combination of Qwen’s cutting-edge AI models and Quark’s user-friendly AI Super Frame will redefine the AI experience, further strengthening Alibaba’s position as an AI-driven technology powerhouse.
