Singapore – Alibaba Cloud, the cloud computing arm of Alibaba Group, has introduced a range of new artificial intelligence products and infrastructure upgrades aimed at supporting enterprise adoption of agentic AI technologies.
The announcements were made during the company’s inaugural Qwen Conference in Singapore, where Alibaba Cloud also announced a local initiative with ecosystem partners to train more than 1,000 SMEs and students in generative and agentic AI technologies.
“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 international customers to seamlessly integrate AI into every facet of their operations.”
Among the updates announced was the launch of Qwen3.7-Max on Alibaba Cloud’s Model Studio platform in Singapore. The company said the large language model ranked fifth globally and first among Chinese-developed models in Artificial Analysis’ latest Intelligence Index. According to Alibaba Cloud, the model scored 56.6 points and competed with international AI models including GPT, Claude, and Gemini.
Alibaba Cloud also introduced a new Skills portal designed to make cloud resources accessible to AI agents through MCP-compatible formats. The company said the portal converts functions across more than 60 cloud products into skill-based capabilities that agents can invoke directly. Dedicated agents for databases, big data, operations and maintenance, and security products were also announced.
In addition, the company said it is upgrading its AI infrastructure with features including lightweight execution sandboxes, cross-task memory, intelligent operations and maintenance capabilities, and enhanced data circulation support for agent runtime environments.
Alibaba Cloud also unveiled Qwen Cloud, a new AI-native cloud platform intended to simplify AI model deployment and application development. The platform includes access points for agents through “Skills” and command-line integrations, alongside a web interface for users. It supports Alibaba’s Qwen models, open-source models, and third-party AI offerings across text, vision, audio, image, video, and embedding tasks.
As part of its Singapore-focused initiatives, Alibaba Cloud partnered with the Tech Talent Assembly, an affiliated association under Singapore’s National Trade Union Congress (NTUC), and ST Telemedia Global Data Centres to provide AI training and access to Alibaba Cloud’s AI tools, including Qwen and Wan.
“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 Deputy Secretary-General of the National Trades Union Congress.
The company also introduced the JVS Agent Suite, a set of enterprise-focused AI agent tools built on the OpenClaw framework. One of the products, JVS Claw Teams, supports cloud operations, centralised skill distribution, and security management for enterprise deployments.
Another product, JVS Mobile, is designed as a mobile intelligent automation platform powered by the Qwen model and OpenClaw framework. Alibaba Cloud said the platform enables AI agents to execute tasks across multiple applications and collaborate autonomously.
Separately, Alibaba Cloud announced it had joined the PyTorch Foundation as a Platinum member to contribute to open-source AI infrastructure development.
The company also launched a global hackathon focused on building AI agents using Qwen Cloud, as well as an AI-generated short film competition in collaboration with Picsart using Alibaba’s video generation model HappyHorse.
