Alibaba Cloud (Chinese: 阿里云, also known as Aliyun) is the cloud computing arm of Alibaba Group, focused on cloud computing infrastructure and artificial intelligence (AI) platforms. Since 2023 it has become a prominent developer and operator of the Qwen (Tongyi Qianwen) family of large language models (LLMs), alongside full-stack AI tooling such as the Machine Learning Platform for AI (PAI), Model Studio for foundation-model APIs, and the ModelScope open-source model community.[1][2][3][4]

Overview

Alibaba Cloud provides public cloud services and AI platforms used within Alibaba's ecosystem and by external customers. It is the largest cloud computing company in China and the Asia-Pacific region according to Gartner reports.[5] Its AI stack spans foundation model development (Qwen family), model hosting and inference (PAI-EAS), application-ready APIs (Model Studio), and an open community for model weights, datasets, and demos (ModelScope).[2][3][1]

As of 2025, the company operates in 29 regions with 87 availability zones worldwide.[6] AI-related products have driven significant growth, contributing to a 26% year-over-year revenue increase in Q1 FY2026, with AI revenue maintaining triple-digit growth for eight consecutive quarters through 2025.[7][8]

In February 2025, Alibaba Group announced a US$53 billion investment over three years in AI and cloud infrastructure, marking one of the largest investments in AI development globally.[9] In September 2023, Alibaba Cloud gained Chinese regulatory approval to open its Tongyi Qianwen models to the public, marking a milestone in commercial generative AI availability in China.[10]

In 2024, Alibaba became the only Chinese company ranked in Fortune's top 10 "Change the World" list due to its AI-assisted cancer detection technology.[22]

Climate and Energy

DAMO Academy leverages AI for renewable energy forecasting, improving the reliability of solar and wind power predictions for grid operators across China.[23]

AI Platforms and Services

Platform for AI (PAI)

PAI is Alibaba Cloud's comprehensive end-to-end machine-learning platform providing data processing, training, and deployment. It supports large-scale training (tens of billions of features / hundreds of billions of samples) and integrates Elastic Algorithm Service (EAS) for one-click online inference with elastic scaling and monitoring.[2][24][25]

Sub-products include:

  • PAI-iTAG: Multimodal data labeling for efficient data preparation

Qwen (Tongyi Qianwen) Model Family

Qwen (Chinese: 通义千问, meaning "universal truth" or "general meaning") is Alibaba Cloud's flagship LLM family. Initial public availability followed Chinese regulatory approval in September 2023, with subsequent open-weight releases of several sizes. The family expanded through 2024–2025 (Qwen2/2.5, reasoning-optimized QwQ, multimodal Qwen-VL, and Qwen3 models with both dense and Mixture-of-Experts variants).[10][16]

The models have been trained on over 36 trillion tokens in 119 languages and dialects, achieving notable benchmarks, ranking as the top Chinese language model and third globally behind models from Anthropic and OpenAI as of July 2024.[33] Models have been downloaded over 40 million times and are available through Hugging Face, GitHub, and ModelScope.[33]
