Technode reports that Alibaba CEO Eddie Wu said the company expects its second-generation T-Head chip to begin tape-out and enter production in the second half of the year, targeting large-model training workloads. Alibaba also highlighted scaled sales of a Zhenwu M890-based cloud supernode and said the Zhenwu line had served more than 650 customers by early August.
The source reports that Alibaba Cloud has reduced delivery time for large-scale AI data centers to 100 days using a fully modular architecture, while also claiming construction costs are more than 10% lower than its prior generation. It also indicates Alibaba Cloud plans to more than double global modular data center production capacity in 2026, signaling a shift in AI competition toward infrastructure deployment speed.
Alibaba Cloud increased prices for select AI computing and storage products by up to 34%, citing surging AI demand and higher supply chain costs, according to a website notice. The source suggests rising token usage and rapid growth in its Bailian Model-as-a-Service platform are driving a reallocation of limited AI compute toward token-based services.
