Global service map
Quick answer: Chinaready currently maps Voyage to Qwen Embeddings (DashScope), GTE (Alibaba). Availability in China: Unavailable. Review replacement fit below before changing architecture.
Availability in China: Unavailable
Qwen Embeddings provides managed text embedding APIs through Alibaba Cloud Model Studio and DashScope for semantic retrieval and RAG.
China context: DashScope provides mainland-hosted embedding endpoints for Alibaba Cloud applications that need production RAG and semantic retrieval without relying on global APIs.
GTE provides open text embedding models from Alibaba for multilingual semantic similarity, retrieval, and RAG workloads.
China context: GTE models support self-hosted embedding inference for mainland China retrieval stacks, reducing reliance on overseas APIs while requiring local model operations.
Chinaready currently labels Voyage as Unavailable for mainland China use. Treat this as an operating signal, then validate against your own account type, region, network path, and compliance constraints before relying on it in production.
Chinaready Landscape currently lists these China-market options for Voyage: Qwen Embeddings (DashScope), GTE (Alibaba). Replacement fit varies by product, so treat this as a research shortlist rather than a one-to-one endorsement.
Sometimes. Mapped options may be direct alternatives, China-region deployments, partial substitutes, or ecosystem-specific routes. Review replacement fit and China context for each candidate before migrating.
