What is Alibaba Cloud PAI?
Platform for AI (PAI) is Alibaba Cloud's end-to-end machine learning service, covering data labeling, model development, distributed training and inference hosting. It is aimed at enterprises and developers who want to build and deploy models, including open LLMs, on Alibaba's infrastructure.
The platform is split into modules: PAI-iTAG for labeling image, text, video and audio data, PAI-Designer for visual model building, PAI-DSW notebooks for development, PAI-DLC for training jobs and PAI-EAS for online inference. More than 140 built-in optimized algorithms are included.
A Model Gallery in the console deploys models such as DeepSeek-V3 and DeepSeek-R1 as web apps, and PAI-EAS can host Stable Diffusion or an LLM with a WebUI and API. Guides also cover building a knowledge-base chat service with a vector database.
