Quarterly Earnings Report
Alibaba reports a profit dip but highlights strong growth in its cloud business.
Alibaba Group CEO Eddie Wu has announced a strategic goal to generate over $100 billion in revenue from AI and cloud services within the next five years. This pivot comes as the company navigates a recent decline in net profit while betting on the global AI demand boom to revitalize its growth trajectory.
Alibaba has released Qwen 3.5, a massive 397-billion parameter model designed to undercut U.S. rivals OpenAI and Google by 60% on cost. The launch signals a strategic pivot toward autonomous AI agents, positioning Alibaba to lead China's competitive landscape against ByteDance and DeepSeek.
