Alibaba officially rolled out its ​latest AI video generation-model Wan3.0 ‌on Monday with enhanced capabilities ​after the ⁠Chinese internet giant launched a $10 billion share placement to fund ‌rising AI spending.

The new model can generate ‌30-second videos from documents, ‌spreadsheets, ⁠slides and web ⁠pages, Alibaba Cloud said in a post on the WeChat ​platform.

Alibaba ‌said Wan3.0 had been used in short drama and film production, advertising and ‌marketing, tourism promotion and music ​video creation since a public beta ⁠version was launched on August 6.

The release comes ‌a day after Alibaba announced the share sale, the largest-ever primary follow-on offering by a Hong Kong-listed company, as ‌it ramps up spending in ​the intensifying global AI race.
