Which one is stronger in cloud AI developer service capabilities?
Recently, Gartner, an international research institution, released the 2024 Magic Quadrant for Cloud AI Developer Services, which evaluates the cloud AI developer service capabilities of major technology vendors. Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Cloud AI Developer Services is one of the most credible cloud AI service evaluation reports in the industry, and has been published for five consecutive years since 2020.
Compared to previous years, the vendors in the Leaders quadrant in 2024 have not changed much, with AWS, Google, and Microsoft still leading the way, and IBM's cloud is almost closed and still on the edge of the Leaders quadrant.
In the challenger quadrant, China's Alibaba Cloud is the only company to be selected. Alibaba Cloud has been stable in this quadrant for the past 3 years. At the same time, Alibaba Cloud was rated as the best in China in terms of the execution ability of AI services on the cloud.
In the sector-specific quadrant, China's Huawei Cloud and Tencent Cloud, as well as Oracle in United States, were selected. In the Visionaries quadrant, OpenAI was selected for the first time, and H20.AI continues to hold steady within this quadrant.
Compared with 2023, in 2024, OpenAI was included in the report for the first time, and Baidu and Clarifai disappeared. Gartner explained that Baidu was not selected because its customer coverage did not meet the selection requirements. In the early years, Baidu was selected.
I also specifically looked at the reports for the last 5 years. On the whole, Alibaba Cloud's performance is the most stable, and the results are also more prominent among domestic manufacturers, which has a lot to do with Alibaba Cloud's international layout and the continuous increase in artificial intelligence technology in the past two years, especially the Tongyi Qianwen Qwen series of open source large models, in fact, the competitiveness overseas is very strong, and in some authoritative evaluations, the performance is much better than Meta's Llama 3 model.
