Internet giants cling to AI chip entry point Ali has invested in five AI chip companies
In the era of personal computers and mobile phones, the dominant players in the chip industry remain Intel, Qualcomm, MediaTek, and Samsung. However, with the arrival of the AI era, new opportunities are emerging for the mainland chip industry. The rise of AI chip companies is becoming more prominent, and even tech giants like Alibaba have started to invest heavily in this field. In just the past three months, Alibaba has invested in three AI chip startups, bringing its total number of AI chip investments to five.
Recently, Qualcomm Ventures announced investments in nine innovative companies focused on AI algorithms, chips, and IoT. Alongside Qualcomm, Intel has also been actively investing in mainland AI and UAV-related industries. Among these investments, companies like Shangtang Technology, Mobike, and Kneron (an AI chip company) have gained attention. Notably, Alibaba’s Entrepreneur Fund leads these investments, marking it as the third AI chip company backed by Alibaba or its affiliated entities in the last three months.
The growth trajectory of major AI chip companies shows that most were established between 2014 and 2016. By 2017, AI applications began to attract significant market interest, making it a breakthrough year for mainland AI chips. These companies received substantial funding and media coverage, demonstrating the growing importance of AI in the tech landscape.
Internet giants such as Alibaba, Huawei, Tencent, Baidu, and Lenovo are all moving swiftly into the AI chip industry. This push is driven by the diverse application scenarios across various terminals, including smartphones, smart homes, security systems, and autonomous driving. Each of these fields requires specialized AI chips as their foundational architecture. Whether looking at market potential or upstream resources in the AI industry chain, early entry into the AI chip sector is crucial.
Moreover, AI chips are becoming central to the development of smart devices like voice assistants and robots. Recognizing this strategic importance, tech giants are accelerating their efforts to develop in-house AI chip solutions.
At the recent Yunqi Conference, Alibaba launched the “Dharma Institute†and announced the “New Technology Strategy,†focusing on core technologies such as machine learning, chips, IoT, operating systems, and biometrics. Alibaba’s CTO, Zhang Jianfeng, revealed that an AI chip developed by Alibaba will soon be available, enhancing cloud services with greater stability, control, and efficiency. For Alibaba, AI chips have become a key strategic asset.
From the perspective of the chip industry, creating AI chips presents two major challenges: high capital investment and the need for sufficient real-world applications. Startups often lack both, making access to capital essential. Alibaba not only provides financial support but also offers a mature cloud computing platform, diverse application scenarios, and powerful retail and e-commerce resources.
Alibaba Cloud generates vast amounts of user data, which serves as critical training material for AI applications. Additionally, it demands AI chips with higher performance, lower power consumption, and smaller form factors to meet operational needs.
In 2015, Alibaba partnered with Hangzhou Zhongtianwei to develop a “Cloud on Chip†architecture for various Internet of Things segments. In January 2016, Alibaba became a shareholder of Zhongtianwei, holding nearly 30% of the shares. To date, Zhongtianwei has shipped over 600 million SoC units.
In November 2016, Alibaba joined Tencent in funding Barefoot Networks, a company specializing in FPGA programmable chips. Their Tofino chip is said to be twice as fast as any other chip currently on the market, capable of processing network packets at 6.5 Mbps.
Over the past two years, Alibaba has invested in five AI chip companies, quietly building a comprehensive AI chip ecosystem. These include Cambrian, Shenjian Technology, and Kneron. While each company focuses on different areas—IoT, mobile and data center applications, security, and smart home solutions—Alibaba's strategy is clear: to establish a solid foundation in AI chip technology.
Kneron, for instance, was founded in 2014 in San Diego, USA, and opened a branch in Shenzhen in 2015. Its founder, Liu Juncheng, previously worked at Samsung and Qualcomm. He saw the potential in AI and invested in neural network-based NPU processor chips.
