On September 24, at the 2025 Yunqi Conference, Alibaba unveiled its ambitious plan to propel AI infrastructure development forward, pledging an investment of 380 billion yuan, with intentions to further ramp up its financial commitment. Wu Yongming, Chairman and CEO of Alibaba Group, revealed that by 2032, the energy consumption of Alibaba Cloud's global data centers is projected to surge tenfold from its 2022 levels, signaling an exponential growth trajectory in computing power investment. This strategic maneuver underscores the fierce competition among global tech behemoths to bolster their investments in AI infrastructure. Prior to this, industry leaders such as NVIDIA, Meta, Microsoft, and Google had already rolled out extensive investment blueprints, ushering AI infrastructure into the 'hyper-scale' epoch and underscoring robust anticipation for future computing power requirements.
