Alibaba Group is accelerating its artificial intelligence pivot by launching low-cost software coding tools through its cloud division. These tools provide access to multiple AI models, including the recently upgraded Qwen 3.5. The initiative marks a strategic shift from traditional e-commerce toward the primary goal of achieving artificial general intelligence.
Alibaba will release its latest earnings report today, February 26, 2026. Investors are monitoring the cloud division's performance amid intensifying AI competition. Analysts also expect updates on Chinese consumer demand trends and capital allocation strategies, including share buybacks.
