TLDR
Alibaba used its annual Apsara conference to lay out an AI buildout spanning models, chips and data centers. The company unveiled T-Head’s Zhenwu V900 accelerator, which it says offers three times the performance of the M890 and can be linked in clusters of up to 500,000 chips; commercial release is planned for the first quarter of 2027. CEO Eddie Wu also said Qwen plans a 5-trillion-to-10-trillion-parameter model for longer-horizon tasks. Those are company plans and performance claims, not independent benchmarks.
