Alibaba launched Qwen Intelligence, a full-stack agentic AI solution for smartphone makers, entering public beta Sept 22, 2026 with three ready-to-use agents (Mobile Planner, Mobile-Use, Mobile Creative Agent) and an open evaluation benchmark; HONOR is the first hardware partner, integrating it into the Magic9 series and an upcoming HONOR Robot Phone.
Alibaba opened the international edition of QwenWork, its all-in-one workplace AI agent platform, to public beta outside China on Aug 26, extending the China beta launched earlier in August to global users via web and desktop client.
Alibaba opened the Qwen platform to outside developers on Aug 10, letting third parties build custom AI agents accessible inside the Qwen app across phones, PCs and AI glasses; launch partners include SF Express, Ziroom and Midea across 10+ sectors.
Alibaba merged three existing tools (QoderWork, MuleRun, Wukong) into QwenWork, a unified enterprise workplace AI agent platform that opened public beta on Aug 2-3, 2026 with web and standalone PC clients; DingTalk integration is coming soon.
Alibaba's agentic coding platform with 5M+ global users since its August 2025 launch. Offers Agent Mode for conversational pair programming and Quest Mode for fully autonomous end-to-end coding — users outline specs and Qoder handles planning, implementation, and testing. Powered by Qwen-Coder-Qoder, a model custom-trained for agentic software development (60.5% SWE-bench task resolution).
AI-native cloud platform launched by Alibaba Cloud at its inaugural international Qwen Conference in Singapore, designed to serve both human users and AI agents for building and deploying enterprise AI applications and autonomous agents; launched alongside the Qwen3.7-Max model, a JVS Agent Suite, and a Skills portal that converts capabilities across 60+ Alibaba cloud products into MCP-compatible, agent-usable formats

Z.ai open-sources ZCode after coding tool silently uploaded user data
Chinese AI firm Z.ai (formerly Zhipu) apologized after its ZCode coding tool was found silently uploading full developer workspaces, including Git commit histories, to Alibaba Cloud servers without user consent or an opt-out option. Only Z.ai held the decryption keys. After third-party audits from CAICT and NSFOCUS confirmed the data was deleted, the company open-sourced the ZCode project, though the removed commit history limited independent verification.

DeepSeek Seeks to Raise $7B+ in First External Round at ~$45B Valuation
DeepSeek is pursuing its first external fundraising, targeting up to 50 billion yuan ($7B+) at a valuation of approximately $45–50 billion — the largest single funding round ever attempted by a Chinese AI company. China's state-backed Big Fund (semiconductor investment vehicle) is in talks to lead the round. CEO Liang Wenfeng is expected to personally invest ~$3B (~40% of the total). Tencent reportedly proposed acquiring up to a 20% stake, and Alibaba is also at the table. The fundraise was prompted by competitor attempts to poach DeepSeek researchers; offering equity is seen as a key retention tool.

The essential tracker for China's AI ecosystem
One place to follow every major model release, funding round, product launch, and breakthrough from China's AI ecosystem.
Tony Peng

China AI Index is a research project built and maintained by Tony Peng — a long-time observer of the AI industry with a background in journalism and communications — with the assistance of AI (Claude Code, Qoder, and Z Code). Tony is also the writer behind Recode China AI, a newsletter tracking the latest advances and news stories in intelligent technologies.
It exists to give English-speaking researchers, investors, journalists, and developers a structured reference for China's AI ecosystem — most authoritative information is published in Chinese, and this site translates and synthesizes it.
What we track
Models
Every major LLM, reasoning model, vision model, and generative AI model from Chinese labs — with benchmark scores, context windows, and live API pricing so you can compare apples to apples.
Financing
Full funding histories for private companies (ByteDance, DeepSeek, MiniMax, Moonshot…) and market data for public ones (Alibaba, Baidu, Tencent, Kuaishou). Valuations, investors, round sizes.
