Ant Group, a leading Chinese fintech company, has made significant moves to expand its presence in the financial sector. It has unveiled its own large language model (LLM), a technology used in training chatbots like ChatGPT, and introduced a new Web3 brand targeting Hong Kong and overseas markets.
