Beijing (Reuters)-The Chinese technology group Alibaba announced on Wednesday (24) plans to expand its global data centers base with the installation of data processing centers in Brazil, France and the Netherlands.
In any annual, the company also announced similar facilities in 2026 in Mexico, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and Dubai. This will expand the current Network of 91 Data Centers from Alibaba in 29 regions of the world.
Alibaba has also announced a partnership with the American Nvidia () for the development of artificial intelligence physical resources, such as data synthesis, model training, environmental simulation and validation tests.

The partnership was announced a few days after Nvidia, whose chips are boosting AI’s global boom, announced an agreement to invest up to $ 100 billion in OpenAi, ChatgPT creator.
Alibaba’s executive president, Eddie Wu, said at the conference that Alibaba will increase IA investments without specifying the values. Earlier this year, the company announced plans to invest 380 billion yuns (US $ 53 billion) in AI infrastructure over the next three years.
Wu, however, did not comment on whether the new data centers will be equipped with Nvidia chips, despite the company’s partnership with the American.

Also on Wednesday, Alibaba announced its largest AI language model, Qwen3-Max. The model contains more than 1 trillion parameters, or variables that determine as an AI process system, and shows special force in code generation and self -employed agent resources, said Zhou Jingren, Alibaba Cloud technology director at the conference.
Autonomous agent resources mean that the AI system requires fewer human requests than a chatbot such as chatgPT and can make decisions and act independently in relation to a goal defined by the human user.
Alibaba cited third party tests such as Tau2-Bench, saying the model overcame rival products, including Anthropic’s Claude; and Deepseek-V3.1 in certain metrics. The company launched the Qwen3 model in April.

Other AI products revealed on Wednesday by Alibaba included QWEN3-Oreni, a useful and enlarged multimodal and immersive system, such as smart glasses and cockpits.
Last month, Alibaba released strong quarterly results, driven by cloud computing businesses, whose revenue increased by 26%, highlighting the company’s progress in the AI services monetization.
“The speed of AI sector development has greatly exceeded our expectations, and the sector demand for AI infrastructure also greatly exceeded our predictions,” said Wu.
