$Alibaba(BABA)$ has made a pretty impressive move! They’ve launched an innovative large-scale model search engine called ZeroSearch. Simply put, it doesn’t interact with traditional search engines to gather information.

Instead, it leverages a reinforcement learning framework to enhance the search capabilities of large models. ZeroSearch taps into the vast knowledge accumulated during the large model’s pretraining, transforming it into a retrieval module that can generate relevant content based on search queries.

Plus, it can dynamically control the quality of the generated content, a feature traditional search engines just can't offer. This new technology is a major step forward for Alibaba in the AI space and could significantly improve search quality.
