Chinese internet and e-commerce giant Alibaba (BABA) has stepped into the smart glasses arena with the introduction of its Quark AI glasses, slated for release in China by the end of 2025. Powered by Alibaba’s advanced Qwen large language model and its Quark AI assistant, these glasses feature a built-in camera and offer hands-free calling, music streaming, real-time language translation, and automatic meeting transcription.
The move underscores Alibaba’s commitment to strengthening its presence in China’s rapidly evolving AI industry, putting it in direct competition with international giants like Meta Platforms (META) and Xiaomi (XIACY) in the fast-growing market for AI-enhanced wearable technology.
