Alibaba outlined a full-stack AI roadmap at its Apsara Conference, which Alibaba Cloud described as its annual technology conference, covering chips, cloud infrastructure, models, and software agents.

The company said Qwen 4 is in training, alongside updates to its multimodal models, an agentic cloud, a mobile AI agent platform, and the Zhenwu V900 chip.

Alibaba also outlined a roadmap for Yitian central processing unit chips and said a future model could reach 10 trillion parameters.

Qwen has been open-sourced in multiple versions and sizes.

T-Head, Alibaba’s chip unit, previously introduced the Yitian 710 server CPU for Alibaba Cloud data centers, suggesting Zhenwu extends Alibaba’s in-house chip strategy.

CEO Eddie Wu said Alibaba Cloud aims for its global data center capacity to surpass 20 gigawatts by 2032.

Alibaba Cloud said it is Asia Pacific’s largest cloud provider by revenue.
