Jihong and Alibaba Cloud Hold Joint Innovation Seminar on AI-Native Infrastructure and Token Exports

Jihong Co. and Alibaba Cloud held a joint innovation seminar on August 2 to align on AI Agent infrastructure, AI-native cross-border e-commerce scenarios, and Token export distribution. The partners plan to build a standardized Token export distribution service around Alibaba Cloud's upcoming QWen 3.8 flagship model, pushing domestic large models further into global markets.

Jihong Co. and Alibaba Cloud held a joint innovation seminar titled "Wisdom in a Thousand Questions: Building an AI-Native Foundation," with discussions covering three main tracks: AI Agent infrastructure, AI-native scenario co-creation for cross-border e-commerce, and Token export distribution licensing. The meeting accelerates Jihong's AI strategy, which began to take shape with the launch of its Giikin AI+ platform in June.

Jihong CTO Mao Hongbo and e-commerce business CEO Guo Xinhua led the company's technology and business teams at the seminar, joined by Alibaba Cloud's ATH division MaaS team. The two sides exchanged views on enterprise-grade agent security, autonomous multi-agent collaboration, cross-border private knowledge bases, and full-lifecycle knowledge governance.

Luo Weihua, Alibaba Group vice president and head of model algorithms for the ATH division, showcased the full-stack capabilities and mature partnership models of the Bailian MaaS platform. Jihong shared implementation experience from its self-developed Giikin AI+ platform, which uses a bionic multi-agent architecture covering ten agents deployed across its full business.

A key focus was the commercialization roadmap around Alibaba Cloud's upcoming QWen 3.8 flagship model, which the two sides said offers strong multilingual processing, ultra-long context understanding, and native multi-agent collaboration — capabilities that closely match the needs of global e-commerce operations.

The two companies plan to build a standardized Token export distribution service system on Alibaba Cloud's ATH Token service, combining Jihong's long-established global channel resources with Alibaba Cloud's compute supply chain, so that merchants at home and abroad can compliantly and efficiently call on top-tier domestic large-model capabilities.

The seminar also produced a shared consensus: continue the "AI-native digital lifeform" approach of Giikin AI+, replace add-on AI tools with AI agents as the core of cross-border operations, and run regular scenario co-creation to incubate AI-native applications for multiple global markets.

Before this cooperation, Jihong had already partnered with Volcano Engine, Google, and Amazon Web Services — integrating Seedance video generation for a cross-border AI video production system, building an AI-driven "growth flywheel" with Google, and launching a cloud-computing cooperation with AWS.

With the Alibaba Cloud tie-up, Jihong's AI strategy has moved from single-point self-development to multi-vendor ecosystem building, forming a full-chain AI system covering compute, large models, AI content production, cross-border operations, and global Token services — filling two key gaps in enterprise AI Agent infrastructure and compliant Token export distribution.

Why it matters

The partnership marks Jihong's shift from self-developed AI platforms to ecosystem-based AI strategy, filling gaps in enterprise agent infrastructure and compliant Token export distribution. It also gives Alibaba Cloud's QWen family a new channel for global deployment through cross-border e-commerce.
