Recently, Alibaba’s AI flagship app Quark unexpectedly became popular in Taiwan, continuing to dominate the App Store’s tool apps list, and once climbed to second place on the App Store’s free list.
On social media, a large number of Taiwanese users shared their experience, saying that its "deep thinking" function has performed well in many scenarios such as travel, health, investment, and law. It is another mainland "AI artifact" after DeepSeek.
In response to this phenomenon, former Taiwan legislator Tsai Ching-yuan pointed out that Chinese AI products represented by Quark and DeepSeek are showing strong global competitiveness.
