Understand this story
On November 2, 2026, Alibaba Cloud launched the E-HPC agent platform. According to a TMTPost·AGI report, You Liang, head of high-performance computing at Alibaba Cloud, proposed that the key to super-intelligence integration is to use a unified platform to simultaneously schedule HPC, AI training and inference, and agent tasks, and through this platform to distill industry expert experience into Skills. The report also stated that Alibaba Cloud said more than 80% of the time in scientific research workflows still relies on manual handoffs, with actual compute execution accounting for less than 20%; its hpc9a instances are equipped with fifth-generation AMD EPYC processors with up to 128 cores, delivering about a 30% performance improvement over the previous generation. E-HPC has formed dedicated solutions for chip design, AI4S and life sciences, and embodied intelligence, among which HPDA Robotics' multimodal data processing can improve cost-effectiveness by 2.1 to 5 times. Currently, there are no subsequent factual developments regarding this event.
