PANews reported on October 20th that, according to an exclusive report from Sina Technology, AliQuark is promoting an AI initiative codenamed "Plan C." This initiative is led by Quark's core team and includes participation from several senior members of Tongyi Lab. Multiple sources revealed that the initiative is related to its development of conversational AI applications and that its first new results will be released soon. Sources revealed that "Plan C" has been secretly underway within Quark for a long time, and the upcoming releases are only interim results. "This is a product that requires long-term investment and relies on breakthroughs in model technology." There are several theories regarding the origin of the codename "Plan C." One theory suggests that "C" stands for "Chat," suggesting Quark may be introducing a new conversational format. Another, more controversial, internal theory suggests that the codename "C" is a reference to the classic game "Pac-Man," with the self-evident implication that "the target is Pac-Man." Quark has not yet responded to these reports.PANews reported on October 20th that, according to an exclusive report from Sina Technology, AliQuark is promoting an AI initiative codenamed "Plan C."
