Alibaba Group Holding LtdAlibaba's Tongyi Qwen LLM is integrated into Smartshot 2.0, powering the industry-first AI Tournament Assistant.

Orange Lion Sports, founded by Alibaba Group, unveiled Smartshot 2.0, an upgraded AI sports solution, at the Sports Services exhibition during the 2026 China International Fair for Trade in Services, held September 9-13 in Beijing. The upgraded system features six-camera Hawk-Eye electronic line calling that delivers instant in/out calls on a large screen and can announce IN or OUT at adjustable volumes, plus AI commentary and auto-directing that cut broadcasting costs of up to hundreds of thousands of yuan. Smartshot has integrated Alibaba's Tongyi Qwen large language model to launch what the company describes as the industry's first AI Tournament Assistant in the first half of 2026, enabling scheduling and registration to be completed in minutes, and now offers pricing at one-tenth that of comparable offerings. Peng Wei, CTO of Orange Lion Sports, said the goal is to find the optimal balance between precision and cost control, rejecting expensive professional premiums in favor of cost-effective, inclusive technology. Since its launch, Smartshot has been deployed across more than 500 courts and expanded into overseas markets, with installations in Europe, Australia, Hong Kong SAR, and Taiwan region.
