The update

Alibaba Cloud officially launched Qwen Cloud, a new MaaS model service platform tailored for AI Agents, at the 2026 Alibaba Cloud Summit. The platform deeply integrates APIs from more than 150 mainstream models, including Qwen, DeepSeek, and Kimi, aiming to streamline the application of large language models. By fully transforming model services into Skills and CLI tools, Qwen Cloud significantly lowers development barriers. Developers or AI Agents can issue a single command, after which the system automatically handles the entire process from model selection and interface invocation to task execution. This innovative mechanism eliminates the need for manually writing complex integration code, markedly improving the efficiency and automation level of AI application construction, and providing more convenient infrastructure support for agent development.
