Alibaba Cloud, the digital technology and intelligence backbone of Alibaba Group, today unveiled a suite of advanced model, infrastructure upgrades, AI-native platform and AI agent products for its global customers, at its first international Qwen Conference held in Singapore. These advancements underscore Alibaba Cloud’s unwavering commitment to driving AI innovation and empowering users worldwide for the agentic era.
“The agentic era represents a paradigm shift in how we interact with technology,” said Dr. Feifei Li, Chief Technology Officer and President of International Business of Alibaba Cloud. “Our commitment to developing a comprehensive, full-stack AI ecosystem means we are not just offering powerful models, but also the AI-native tools and agentic cloud infrastructure that enable our global customers to seamlessly integrate AI into every facet of their operations.”
Qwen3.7-Max – The robust foundation for AI agents
Alibaba’s latest large language model, Qwen3.7-Max, is now available on Model Studio, Alibaba’s AI development platform, in Singapore region. According to Artificial Analysis’s latest global large language model Intelligence Index, Qwen3.7-Max ranked fifth globally and first among Chinese models.
With a score of 56.6 points, it outperformed other Chinese models such as Kimi-K2.6, DeepSeek-v4-Pro-Max, and GLM5.1, while demonstrating performance competitive with leading international models such as GPT, Claude, and Gemini.
Empowering agents with agentic cloud
To enable AI agents to interact more seamlessly with cloud resources, Alibaba Cloud has launched a new Skills portal that converts common cloud capabilities across more than 60 cloud products into Skill-based and MCP-compatible formats.
This allows AI agents to invoke cloud resources as naturally as calling functions. Alibaba Cloud’s core products, including databases, big data, operations and maintenance (O&M), and security, have developed dedicated product-level agents to help manage complex cloud environments more efficiently.
Alibaba Cloud is also upgrading its AI infrastructure to better support agent runtime environments, with enhancements such as lightweight execution sandboxes, cross-task memory, seamless data circulation, and intelligent O&M across the full technology stack.
AI-native cloud with models and tools
To simplify access to and deployment of AI models, Alibaba Cloud unveiled Qwen Cloud, a new AI-native cloud platform designed to provide a seamless model service experience for both businesses and AI agents. The platform enables developers, enterprises, and prosumers to build AI-powered applications and agents with greater ease and efficiency.
Qwen Cloud features a three-entry design, with “Skills” for agents and a Command Line Interface (CLI) for workflow integration serving as core agent-friendly access points, alongside a user-friendly website for human users. The platform brings together a comprehensive ecosystem of leading models, including Alibaba’s proprietary Qwen models, open-source models, and third-party offerings for text, vision, audio, image, video, and embedding tasks.
Agent products updates for Enterprise Deployment
At the Qwen Conference, Alibaba Cloud debuted the JVS Agent Suite, a set of enterprise-grade agent toolkits for enterprises, developers and individuals to easily build and run exclusive AI agents. Built on the OpenClaw framework with robust cloud-native security, JVS Claw Teams supports 7×24 cloud operation, centralised distribution of an organisation’s proprietary Skills, and integrated security management.
Another new product of JVS Agent Suite is JVS Mobile, an enterprise-grade mobile intelligent automation platform. Powered by the Qwen model and native OpenClaw, it enables the creation of AI agents capable of autonomous thinking, efficient multi-agent collaboration, and complex task execution across different applications.
In addition, Alibaba Cloud announced that it has joined the PyTorch Foundation, a community-driven hub for open-source AI under the Linux Foundation, as a Platinum member. Through this, Alibaba Cloud aims to contribute to the development of next-generation AI infrastructure and support the broader open-source AI ecosystem.
At the summit, Alibaba Cloud also launched a global hackathon for developers and startups to build production-grade AI agents with Alibaba’s models on Qwen Cloud. Another short film competition, co-launched with leading design and video editing platform Picsart, will invite creators to produce original AI-generated films using Alibaba’s advanced video generation model HappyHorse.
