Qwen Releases E-Commerce Bench: Agents Run Stores for 365 Days, Few Learn
Alibaba_Qwen · x · 2026-09-03
Alibaba's Qwen team launched E-Commerce Bench, a benchmark for long-horizon autonomous business operations. Agents start with ¥100,000 and run an online store for 365 days in a market driven by real e-commerce data, handling sourcing, negotiation, pricing, promotions, inventory, and cash flow.
- Real economics: 6,886 products, 576 suppliers (152 fraudsters), 600-minute workdays, storage fees, returns, and reputation.
- Key finding: almost no model learns to buy cheaper or improve strategies over a full year of operation.
- Seven-axis evaluation shows no single model dominates.
Paper, blog, and code are publicly available.
