Mars Finance News, April 7: According to reports from multiple media outlets recently, Meituan and JD.com have tightened access permissions for external AI large language models. Within the company, employees can no longer use outside AI tools as freely as before. Big-industry daily news reports say that starting last week, Meituan made adjustments to the use of internal large models and no longer recommends the Qwen model provided by Alibaba Cloud for business use. If a business still needs to use it, it must submit detailed reasons for use and escalate the request to the X3 level (boss level) for approval. At present, other external large models such as Doubao do not require approval, while the external large model Meituan recommends for business use is its in-house LongCat (Dragon Cat).

JD.com has also tightened access permissions for external AI tools in tandem. Starting last week, it officially restricted employees from accessing external AI-related websites. When employees attempt to open platform pages such as Doubao, Qianwen, Gemini, DeepSeek, ChatGPT, Grok, etc., the system will automatically block them. However, on the blocked pages, there are entry points for using the company’s in-house models, as well as application channels for external AI tools. (Wide-angle observation)
