Alibaba Cloud Unveils Advanced Agentic AI and new Qwen Cloud

Model and platform updates, and agent products released

Alibaba Cloud has unveiled a suite of advanced models, infrastructure upgrades, AI-native platform and AI agent products for its global customers.

The announcements were made at Alibaba Cloud’s first international Qwen Conference, held in Singapore, where the company also launched a new initiative with local ecosystem partners to equip over 1,000 local SMEs and students with practical skills in Generative AI and agentic AI.

Dr. Feifei Li, Chief Technology Officer and President of International Business of Alibaba Cloud, has commented:

“The agentic era represents a paradigm shift in how we interact with technology. 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

Alibaba’s latest large language model, Qwen3.7-Max, is now available on Model Studio, Alibaba’s AI development platform, in the Singapore region. According to Artificial Analysis’s latest global large language model Intelligence Index, Qwen3.7-Max ranked 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.

New Enhancements and New Skills Portal

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 the 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.

Singapore Initiative

Alibaba Cloud, in collaboration with the Tech Talent Assembly, an affiliated association under the National Trade Union Congress (NTUC), and ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (STT GDC), has launched a new initiative to equip over 1,000 local SMEs and students in Singapore with practical skills in Generative and Agentic AI.

“This reflects a growing effort by partners to work with the Labour Movement to better support workers, including youths and PMEs, with the skills, guidance and confidence to take on opportunities in the AI economy. Through NTUC’s AI Ready SG initiative, we will continue working closely with our partners to pool resources and strengthen impact on the ground, so that workers receive tailored guidance and support every step of the way,” said Desmond Tan Kok Ming, Senior Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office of Singapore and the Deputy Secretary-General of the National Trades Union Congress.

Agent products updates for Enterprise Deployment

At the Qwen Conference, Alibaba Cloud debuted:

the JVS Agent Suite, a set of enterprise-grade agent toolkits to build and run exclusive AI agents. Built on the OpenClaw framework with robust cloud-native security, JVS Claw Teams supports 24/7 cloud operation, centralised distribution of an organisation’s proprietary skills, and integrated security management.
JVS Mobile, a mobile intelligent automation platform enabling the creation of AI agents capable of autonomous thinking, efficient multi-agent collaboration, and complex task execution across different applications.

PyTorch Foundation membership

Alibaba Cloud 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.
