Alibaba deploys Qwen-3.8-Max on domestic infra
Alibaba has successfully deployed its 2.4-trillion parameter Qwen-3.8-Max model relying purely on domestic Chinese AI infrastructure. This milestone highlights that homegrown hardware and software stacks are officially capable of supporting frontier-scale Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) workloads.
China's domestic AI infrastructure has reached a key milestone in handling massive frontier-scale models. This demonstrates that domestic silicon and networking can meet memory and compute bandwidth requirements for a 2.4T parameter MoE architecture, signaling rapid progress toward end-to-end hardware independence and validating Alibaba's capabilities to run top-tier MoE models domestically.
