#alibaba#ai-device#qwenbook#agent

LatePost exclusively reports that Alibaba Cloud's Wuying team is developing QwenBook, an AI-native agent device resembling a 'Qwen tablet', with self-developed product definition and hardware. The product, still in early stages, targets office use, integrates models Qwen3.8-Max and Qwen3.8-Flash, and plans a demo at the Yunqi conference, with a full release expected by end of 2026 or early 2027.

    晚点独家丨阿里试水千问平板，与字节押注不同的 AI 终端

    《晚点 LatePost》独家了解到，阿里云旗下无影团队正在研发一款名叫 QwenBook 的 AI 设备，定位是原生智能体电脑，但产品形态更接近一台 “千问平板”，产品定义和硬件部分由团队自研，无影过去做云电脑积累的系统和端云能力，也被带进了这个项目。 过去两年，大模型公司最重要的产品，大多是手机和电脑里的一个 App。用户打开它，输入问题，再拿走答案。 Agent 改变了这件事。模型开始替用户执行任务后，它不仅要知道用户说了什么，还要知道用户正在看什么、设备上有哪些信息，以及哪些应用和服务可以调用。 但这些上下文和执行权限并不掌握在模型手中，它们分散在操作系统、硬件和不同应用里。千问平板的思路和豆包手机类似，都希望把模型从独立应用，推向系统更底层的位置。 一位阿里云人士说，QwenBook 是一款仍处于早期的试水产品，主打办公，目前，产品接入的模型包括 Qwen3.8-Max 和 Qwen3.8-Flash。 不管做手机还是做平板，都得找到存在的意义 我们了解到，QwenBook 团队目前约 150 人，系统团队主要基于无影和阿里云 OS 团队重新组建，硬件团队招聘了不少头部手机厂商的人。 一位阿里云人士告诉我们，QwenBook 在今年 4 月份左右启动，晚于第一代豆包手机的发布。 QwenBook 目前展示的系统级能力，首先建立在一套自有应用上。团队做了一套自己可控的工具，用户能直接使用，包括系统级听记、Wiki、智能文件夹、自研邮箱，以及知识库 MyNote 和记忆管理应用 MyZone。 此外，据我们了解，QwenBook 在和金山深度合作，将会打通 WPS，目前还在开发阶段。 这套设计的好处是，阿里可以先在自有应用中打通上下文和执行链路，不必等待第三方开发者逐个开放接口。但它留下的问题是：如果 Agent 只能调用阿里自己开发的工具，QwenBook 就更接近一套阿里定制的办公环境，用户无法在原有的软件生态里工作。 QwenBook 团队原本希望在云栖大会上展示一款更完整的产品，但按照目前进度，团队计划在云栖大会上展示的是一款演示版本，我们了解到，该版本只透出了部分功能，主要用于呈现千问平板的产品理念，并非内部的最新完整版本。完整产品预计要到今年底或明年初才能发布。 字节比阿里更快把产品推向市场，但它也更早遇到了 Agent 硬件最难解决的问题：应用软
