Alibaba
Application
Alibaba's AI assistant app combining chat, search, document processing and image generation across web, mobile and desktop.
Alibaba's assistant app for chat, image and document tasks, built on the Qwen models.
API service
Alibaba Cloud Content Moderation uses AI to identify and label inappropriate or non-compliant multimodal content.
API-based neural machine translation service for text and document translation.
Platform
End-to-end machine-learning platform covering data labelling, model development and training, and model deployment and inference.
Alibaba Cloud's open model community and hub for discovering, running and deploying pretrained models.
Quick BI uses language models to turn plain-language questions into data analysis, including trend tracking, anomaly detection and attribution.
Hive
Application
A free Chrome extension that scans an image, video, text or audio file on any web page for the likelihood it is AI-generated and, for images and video, names the generator it predicts was used.
Free web tool where a person uploads a file or submits a media URL and Hive's detection models report whether an image, video or audio clip is AI-generated or a deepfake, with a detailed analysis.
API service
APIs that classify images, video, audio and text as authentic or AI-generated, flag deepfakes and predict which generative model likely produced the content, billed per use.
Hosted text-to-image API serving SDXL, Flux Schnell and Hive-enhanced variants of them, running every generated image through Hive's visual moderation model before it is returned.
Optical character recognition API that transcribes overlay, scene and document text in 15+ languages plus emojis from images and video, returning words and reading-order text blocks.
Real-time multilingual transcription API that returns each spoken word with a timestamp and confidence score, a fully punctuated transcript and automatic language detection.
Text translation API on Hive's own multilingual model, translating directly between any two supported languages and tuned for short user-generated text such as posts, comments and reviews.
Text-to-video API that produces generated clips across genres, subjects and styles from a written prompt.
Platform
No-code platform for uploading and labelling datasets, fine-tuning Hive's proprietary or open-source text, image and language models on them, evaluating the results and deploying the custom model for inference.
No counterpart
Alibaba sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Hive yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
AI agent
Infrastructure service
AgentBay provides cloud execution environments for AI agents to automate browsers, desktop applications, mobile devices and code runtimes.
AgentRun manages the development, deployment and operation of agent applications through cloud runtimes and sandboxes.
On-demand GPU compute service for AI training, inference and high-performance computing workloads.
Model API
Alibaba Cloud service that serves Qwen and third-party models behind one API, with fine-tuning and agent tooling.
Hive sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Alibaba yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Data service
Fully managed data collection and annotation service for enterprises, with every task corroborated by several contributors from Hive's labelling workforce and QA'd before delivery.
