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.
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.
Labelbox
Application
Annotate is the data labeling product within Labelbox, providing 10+ built-in editors for multimodal chat, LLM evaluation, prompt/response generation, computer vision and NLP, plus customizable labeling and review workflows and team performance monitoring.
Catalog is Labelbox's data curation and search product providing out-of-the-box search across images, text, video, conversations and documents over metadata, vector embeddings and annotations without building your own vector database infrastructure.
Platform
Horizon supplies RL training gyms and evaluations for reasoning, tool use and computer use, using WorldSim to simulate enterprise environments such as GitLab, Jira, CRM, email and chat and to produce calibrated reward and preference signals for post-training.
No counterpart
Alibaba sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Labelbox yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
API service
API-based neural machine translation service for text and document translation.
AI agent
Infrastructure service
On-demand GPU compute service for AI training, inference and high-performance computing workloads.
Model API

Labelbox sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Alibaba yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Agent platform
Labelbox's reinforcement-learning platform for developing, evaluating and deploying enterprise specialist agents, connecting RL environments, evaluation systems and a training loop that fine-tunes models from graded rollout trajectories.
Developer tool
Foundry runs third-party foundation models over data already in Labelbox to pre-label and enrich image, text and document datasets without code, routing the predictions to human review; billed as inference cost per model run plus Labelbox Units.
Data service
Alignerr is Labelbox's expert-network product that routes AI training and evaluation tasks to credentialed contributors across 200+ knowledge domains and 40+ countries and returns structured outputs for RL training, RLHF and evaluation workflows.
Terra is Labelbox's robotics data product delivering video, trajectories and multimodal annotations across pre-training, post-training and evaluation stages, including expert teleoperation with action labels and multiple camera perspectives for embodied foundation models.
