Repeat customers are now the ones asking for more capacity: management describes buyers it has already served pressing f
The model's full reasoning — Q4 2023 call → NOWe need to answer YES or NO based on the transcript. The question asks: Does management describe that buyers who have already bought from the company and seen the result are now asking for more than the company can currently supply, and is management working to enlarge the company in response? We need to find in the transcript any mention of existing customers or counterparties demanding more than current capacity, and the company expanding to meet that demand. Scan the transcript. The call covers Alibaba's earnings. Topics: restructuring, cloud, e-commerce, etc. There is discussion of AI, cloud computing, international commerce, etc. But we need specific evidence of existing buyers asking for more than supply. Look for phrases like "demand exceeds supply", "customers asking for more", "capacity constraints", "building to meet demand", etc. In the transcript, Daniel Zhang talks about cloud: "the emergence and the broad application of artificial intelligence, large models and various vertical models have raised the new requirements for computing power. This is a huge first move advantage for Alibaba Cloud as we have established sizable path - and a path to provide a stable, secure, high-performance and cost-efficient computing services. We hope that Alibaba Cloud services can not only support our self-developed foundation model but also support the training and services of other large models and vertical models in the market. Today, we are the leading provider of large-scale, high-performance computing services based on public cloud. Leveraging this technology advantage, we are working with enterprise customers and entrepreneurs to support their demand for model training and services." This mentions demand for computing power, but does it say that existing customers are asking for more than the company can supply? It says "working with enterprise customers and entrepreneurs to support their demand" but no mention of exceeding capacity. Later, Daniel says: "We have introduced a series of new product and pricing policies. We believe these measures can further expand the customer base and the cloud consumption of our public cloud services and drive the usage of high performance computing power required for AI model training and related services." That's about expanding customer base, not existing customers asking for more.
