At Apsara Conference 2026, Alibaba CEO Eddie Wu announced:
- AI chips: Zhenwu V900, billed as China's most powerful AI chip, scaling to 500,000 cards per cluster.
- Models: Advancing Recursive Self-Improvement (RSI) with plans for 5–10T parameter Qwen models toward ASI.
- AI cloud: Expanding global data center capacity beyond 20GW by 2032.
- Wu argued machine thinking today represents under 3% of human capacity, so scaling 1,000x offers huge runway.
