Alibaba Cloud cuts prices again, this time for international customers as AI generates surging demand
In February, Alibaba Cloud announced price reductions as high as 55 per cent for more than 100 core products for mainland China customers, the largest discount offering in the company’s history.
In a previous round, Alibaba Cloud slashed prices last May on a number of core products and services in China by up to 50 per cent.
“Our latest pricing strategy is designed not only to reward long-term subscribers with more substantial discounts, but also to ensure that businesses can have a stable foundation to develop their long-term strategies when planning and developing their own AI applications,” Selina Yuan, president of international business for Alibaba Cloud Intelligence, said at Monday’s event.
The cloud business and Alibaba’s e-commerce business were highlighted by Alibaba CEO Eddie Wu Yongming in February as the group’s two core businesses, after the tech giant announced a sweeping corporate restructuring a year ago amid a tough macro environment.
Alibaba Cloud is currently the biggest player on the mainland in terms of customer spending among cloud infrastructure service providers. It also serves 80 per cent of China’s technology companies and half of the companies involved in the development of large language models, the technology used to train generative AI services like ChatGPT.
