This news came days before a meeting.
Chinese and U.S. leaders will meet.
AI competition will be a big topic there.
Alibaba CEO Eddie Wu spoke about a new chip.
It is called Zhenwu V900.
He said it is the most powerful AI chip in China today.

Alibaba also plans to train a new AI model.
It will have five to 10 trillion parameters.
Its newest model is Qwen3.8-Max.
It has 2.4 trillion parameters.
A Chinese company called Moonshot has a model called Kimi K3.
It came out in July.
Moonshot says it is the world's largest open model.
It has 2.8 trillion parameters.
Alibaba also plans to build more data centers.
It says more people want AI computing.
It expects over 20 gigawatts of computing by 2032.
Chinese leader Xi Jinping goes to Washington on Wednesday.
He will make a state visit.
He will meet U.S. President Donald Trump.
They will talk about AI, trade and tariffs.
Some experts think China's new AI helps Beijing in these talks.
The U.S. has blocked some technology to China.
This includes AI chips.
Huawei also showed new chip technologies last week.
It wants to compete with leaders like Nvidia.
Experts say Chinese chips are getting better.
The U.S. has blocked Nvidia from selling some top AI chips to China.
Neil Shah of Counterpoint Research said more computing power helps China at home.
Wu said there are shortages in the AI data center supply chain.
This limits how fast Alibaba can grow its computing.
