Alibaba Group is rolling out a major update of its Qwen app, integrating the chatbot into its ecosystem and allowing it to carry out tasks on users' behalf.

Alibaba on Thursday launched significant upgrades to its Qwen artificial intelligence app, saying it could now execute tasks such as order food delivery and make travel bookings as it more aggressively pushes into consumer-facing AI.

Alibaba (BABA) reached $170.16 at the closing of the latest trading day, reflecting a +1.89% change compared to its last close.

MSFT's Azure-led AI growth, strong margins and a $400 billion backlog outshine BABA's cloud gains, weighed down by surging costs and profit pressure.

When deciding whether to buy, sell, or hold a stock, investors often rely on analyst recommendations. Media reports about rating changes by these brokerage-firm-employed (or sell-side) analysts often influence a stock's price, but are they really important?

BABA's cash flow is under strain as AI, cloud and quick commerce spending outpace monetization, widening the gap between revenue growth and cash generation.

PixVerse co-founder Jaden Xie spoke with CNBC in an exclusive interview about financing and AI slop. The company released a new AI model for generating video in real time.

Amazon's most recent quarter showed double-digit growth in retail, ads, and cloud. Both Amazon and Alibaba have seen a reacceleration in their cloud businesses.

Alibaba's open-source AI models are growing increasingly popular among developers. The company's food-delivery business could receive a regulatory boost.

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE: BABA) is pushing meaningfully higher on Jan. 12 after China announced a sweeping “AI+ Manufacturing” action plan. Beijing has vowed financial support for small but innovative “little giant” firms, promoting higher research and development spending in its latest push to accelerate AI adoption in manufacturing.
