Alibaba is set to unveil its first self-developed AI glasses this week, entering an increasingly competitive market, according to Chinese media outlet 36Kr. The wearable device includes core features such as a voice assistant, music playback, calls, real-time translation, and meeting transcription services. The glasses will run primarily on Qwen’s large language model, with Quark providing domain-specific models in education and health. Two versions are expected: a standard AI glasses model plus an AI + AR model with a display. Development for the glasses was led by Alibaba’s Tmall Genie and Quark AI teams, with Song Gang, formerly a lead architect for Huawei flagship phones, serving as the leader of the project.
