Alibaba showed new AI chip technologies on Tuesday.
It also shared plans for more powerful models.
This news came days before a meeting between Chinese and U.S. leaders.
AI competition will be a big topic there.
Alibaba CEO Eddie Wu spoke about the new Zhenwu V900 chip.
He said it is the most powerful AI chip in China today.
He said it is three times faster than the older Zhenwu M890 chip.
Alibaba also plans to train a new AI model.
It will have five to 10 trillion parameters.
Its newest Qwen3.8-Max model has 2.4 trillion parameters.
A Chinese company called Moonshot says its Kimi K3 is the world's largest open model.
It came out in July and has 2.8 trillion parameters.
Alibaba also plans to build more data centers.
It says more and more people need AI computing.
It expects over 20 gigawatts of computing by 2032.
Chinese leader Xi Jinping arrives in Washington on Wednesday.
He will make a state visit and meet U.S. President Donald Trump.
They will likely talk about AI, trade and tariffs.
Some experts think China's new AI progress gives Beijing more power in these talks.
The U.S. has blocked China from some new technologies, including AI chips.
Huawei also showed new chip technologies last week.
It wants to challenge leaders like Nvidia.
Experts said Chinese-made chips are getting better.
This is because Nvidia cannot sell some of its most powerful AI chips to China.
Neil Shah of Counterpoint Research said more computing power helps China stay strong at home.
Wu said there are shortages in the AI data center supply chain around the world.
He said this limits how fast Alibaba can grow its computing.
