alifcoder · x · 2026-09-22
At Apsara Conference 2026 in Hangzhou, Alibaba CEO Eddie Wu laid out the company's strategic roadmap for the "Machine Intelligence" era with three key claims:
- Scaling to 1,000x human capacity leaves enormous growth runway ahead.
- Machines are becoming the primary force behind Thinking.
- Machine thinking currently accounts for less than 3% of all human thinking.
The remarks signal Alibaba's long-term bullish stance on scaling and underpin its compute and model investment strategy.
