http://Z.ai has opened an official flagship store on Tmall, Taobao’s dedicated platform for branded retailers, allowing consumers to purchase its AI products directly through one of China's largest e-commerce platforms. On September 2, the Chinese AI company officially opened a flagship store on Tmall, where users can purchase its Coding Plan subscriptions, including Lite, Pro and Max plans on monthly, quarterly or annual subscriptions. It’s a small move, but an interesting one. Instead of buying AI credits through developer-focused platforms, Chinese users can now purchase them on Taobao almost like topping up a phone plan, with potential discounts during major shopping events. The store also sells AI hardware, including computers with built-in AI agents and devices powered by Alibaba’s Qwen models. AI is becoming easier to buy and that could be an important step toward bringing AI products beyond developers and into the mass consumer market.
