#### _Qwen3.7-Max, upgraded cloud infrastructure and model services, and new T-Head chips announced at Alibaba Cloud Summit_

 HANGZHOU, CHINA – [Media OutReach Newswire](https://www.media-outreach.com/) – 
20 May 2025 – Alibaba today announced a comprehensive upgrade of its full AI stack—
spanning cloud infrastructure and model services, AI chips and foundation models—
to empower customers in building, deploying, and scaling AI agents with greater 
efficiency, reliability, and performance.

 Unveiled at the Alibaba Cloud Summit, **Qwen3.7-Max** is Alibaba’s latest large
language model, engineered for advanced agentic coding, complex reasoning, and long-
horizon task execution. Qwen3.7-Max will be available soon for developers and enterprises
worldwide.

 To address surging compute and AI workload demands in the agentic era, Alibaba 
Cloud has also upgraded its infrastructure and model services. Key launches include
the **Panjiu AL128 Supernode Server**, designed to empower scalable agent inference
and large-scale model training, and an optimization update within Alibaba’s model
service platform that continuously refines model performance.

 Additionally, T-Head, Alibaba’s semiconductor design subsidiary, introduced the**
Zhenwu M890**, its latest AI training and inference processor, featuring high-capacity
memory, robust inter-chip bandwidth, and native FP4 precision support.

 **Qwen 3.7-Max: A Versatile Foundation Model for the Agent Era**

 Designed as a robust foundation for AI agents, [Qwen 3.7-Max](https://qwen.ai/blog?id=qwen3.7)
seamlessly handles code generation and debugging, office workflow automation, and
complex multi-step tasks requiring hundreds or thousands of actions.

 The model delivers exceptional agent capabilities across diverse domains. As a 
frontier-level coding assistant, it supports coding tasks from rapid frontend prototyping
to complex, multi-file software engineering. To enhance office work productivity,
it reliably orchestrates multi-agent workflows to tackle sophisticated operations.
Notably, **Qwen 3.7-Max can autonomously execute long-horizon agentic tasks—sustaining
continuous operation for up to 35 hours and managing over 1,000 tool calls without
performance degradation.**

 Deeply optimized for leading agent frameworks including OpenClaw, Hermes Agent,
Claude Code, Qwen Paw and Qoder, it serves as a reliable backbone for different 
agent systems. The model achieves top-tier results across major benchmarks in coding,
general-purpose agents, general capabilities and multilingualism, making it competitive
with leading frontier models. It will be soon accessible through Alibaba’s model
service platform Model Studio for global developers.

 **Next-Generation Intelligent Computing and Enhanced Model Services**

 To empower scalable AI Agent inference and large-scale model training, Alibaba 
Cloud has launched the **Panjiu AL128 Supernode Server**, powered by the Zhenwu 
M890 AI processor and ICN Switch 1.0 networking chip. By tightly integrating 128
AI accelerators within a single rack, the system delivers single-rack bandwidth 
at the petabyte-per second (PB/s) scale, dramatically improving the handling of 
large-scale concurrent requests from agents.

 The Panjiu AL128 is now available on Model Studio for the China market (or “Bailian”),
enabling Chinese enterprises to efficiently address training and inference demands
across sectors.

 To optimize performance, Bailian has introduced Agentic RL, a reinforcement learning
mechanism powered by agent execution feedback, to drive continuous model iteration.
Bailian also features built-in safety governance capabilities, ensuring that autonomously
operating agents always remain within defined boundaries.

 **T-Head’s Latest Chips and Software Stack for AI Training and Inferencing **

 T-Head’s latest AI accelerator, the Zhenwu M890, delivers three times the performance
of its predecessor Zhenwu 810E. Zhenwu M890 features **144 ****gigabytes (GB) of
GPU memory and 800 GB per second of inter-chip bandwidth. **The chip **natively 
supports multiple data precision formats**, **ranging from FP32 (32-bit floating-
point) down to FP4 (4-bit floating-point),** supporting both high-precision model
training and ultra-low-precision model inference. These capabilities make it exceptionally
well-suited for complex agentic AI workloads, which demand extensive working memory
for context retention, high-speed communication for multi-agent coordination, and
low-precision computing to maintain rapid execution while reducing cost. The chip
is built on T-Head’s proprietary parallel computing architecture and utilizes its
custom ICN (Inter-Chip Network) interconnect protocol.

 Alongside the accelerator, T-Head unveiled the **ICN Switch 1.0**, a dedicated 
switching chip designed to create high-bandwidth, low-latency scale-up networks 
for compute clusters. It delivers up to **25.6 Tbps of aggregate bandwidth** and
achieves extreme low latencyand congestion-free communication. By pairing the Zhenwu
M890 with the ICN Switch 1.0 chip, it enables full-bandwidth interconnection across
64 accelerators, significantly boosting the computational efficiency and stability
of large-scale intelligent computing. T-Head also unveiled its proprietary software
stack, **T-Head SAIL™,** to unleash the full computational potential for its chips.

 T-Head has achieved widespread industrial adoption of its proprietary AI chips,
with over **560,000 Zhenwu units delivered to date**. More than 400 external customers
across 20 industries, including leading automakers and financial services companies,
have deployed the chips to power intelligent operations.
