Huawei, Alibaba, ByteDance and Tencent compete to own the AI phone layer

Pandaily relays an Internet Jianghu commentary that sums up four Chinese phone AI strategies: Huawei goes deep, Alibaba goes broad, ByteDance goes focused and Tencent goes clever.

Huawei builds its own chips, operating system and models, while Alibaba offers its Qwen Intelligence platform to phone makers such as Honor.

The commentary argues the real barrier is the ecosystem and calls for a new revenue split based on completed user intents.
