On September 22, 2026, sources revealed that Alibaba Cloud’s Wuying team is in the process of creating an innovative AI device, the QwenBook. This device is envisioned as a native agent computer, echoing the design philosophy of the "Qianwen Tablet" in terms of form factor. The Wuying team is spearheading both the product conceptualization and hardware development, leveraging their extensive expertise in cloud computing to integrate a robust system and end-to-end cloud functionalities.
Designed specifically for office environments, the QwenBook will harness the power of the Qwen3.8-Max and Qwen3.8-Flash AI models. Additionally, a strategic collaboration with Kingsoft ensures seamless integration of the WPS office suite, enhancing productivity and user experience. As of now, the QwenBook remains in its nascent exploratory phase, with the development team gearing up to present a demo version at the upcoming Apsara Conference. The anticipated timeline for the full product launch is set for late 2026 or early 2027, marking a significant stride in AI-driven office technology.
