The Omdia report provides a comprehensive assessment of cloud service providers' capabilities by measuring their technical capabilities, market penetration, and strategic positioning across the various layers of the proxy AI ecosystem. The report divides this ecosystem into three main layers: proxy AI infrastructure, Model-as-a-Service (MaaS) and development environments, and AI-powered software-as-a-service applications.
The report noted that Alibaba Cloud is one of the few companies that has an integrated system covering all layers of this technology, from specialized AI chips and high-performance communication networks to the Lingjun AI computing cluster, the PAI machine learning platform, and the Model Studio, AgentScope, AgentRun, AgentBay, ACS Agent Sandbox tools and the Function Compute service.
Dr. Li Fei Fei, Chief Technology Officer and Head of International Business at Alibaba Cloud Intelligence, stated that the company's ranking among leaders by Omdia underscores its commitment to leading the next phase of AI evolution. He explained that the company was among the first cloud service providers to completely redesign its platforms based on the concept of intelligent agents. He emphasized that Alibaba Cloud is not only developing new tools but also reshaping the cloud computing ecosystem by providing a comprehensive, secure, and native AI agent infrastructure. This enables organizations and developers worldwide to easily build and scale intelligent agents to achieve real business value.
A promising market for growth in Asia and Oceania
The report confirmed that the AI proxy software market in Asia and Oceania is experiencing exceptional growth opportunities, with Omdia forecasting revenues to rise from $782 million in 2025 to approximately $11.2 billion by 2030, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 94%. The report added that the IT, financial services, and retail sectors are currently leading enterprise adoption of these technologies, alongside the accelerating growth in the use of intelligent agents at the individual level, driven by the proliferation of open-source tools and models such as OpenClaw and its derivatives.
A comprehensive and powerful AI proxy solution
As a comprehensive AI service provider, Alibaba Cloud remains uniquely positioned to capitalize on this booming market. Its AI + Cloud capabilities seamlessly integrate robust foundations and enterprise deployments, while simultaneously leveraging the widespread adoption of the popular open-source and commercial Coin models, world-class cloud infrastructure, advanced prototyping services, and significantly enhanced developer tools to suit the next generation of AI agents.
Alibaba recently announced a series of updates to its integrated AI platform capabilities. In May, Alibaba launched Qwen3.7-Max, its latest massive language model specifically designed for advanced proxy-based programming, complex inference, and long-term task execution. This model delivers exceptional proxy capabilities across diverse domains. As a leading programming assistant, it supports programming tasks ranging from rapid front-end prototyping to complex multi-file software engineering. To enhance office productivity, the model reliably orchestrates multi-element workflows to handle complex processes.
Alibaba Cloud has also upgraded its infrastructure to meet the growing demand for computing power and AI workloads in the era of proxy systems. The Pangio AL128 Supernode, designed to enable scalable proxy inference and large-scale model training, is an enhanced upgrade within the Alibaba Group’s Model Services Platform, which continuously improves model performance.
To facilitate access to and deployment of AI models, Alibaba Cloud unveiled Qwen Cloud, a new cloud platform dedicated to AI and designed to provide a seamless model service experience for both enterprises and AI agents. This platform enables developers, businesses, and professional consumers to establish AI-powered applications and agents more easily and efficiently.
To enable AI agents to interact more seamlessly with cloud resources, Alibaba Cloud launched its new Skills Portal, which transforms the widely used cloud capabilities of more than 60 cloud products into skill-based formats compatible with the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This allows AI agents to access cloud resources as easily as they access software functions. Alibaba Cloud's core products, including databases, big data, operations and maintenance (O&M), and security, have developed specialized product-level agents to help manage complex cloud environments more efficiently.
