阿里云Qwen-3成为全球首批在轨运行的AI模型之一

Artificial intelligence has long depended on massive ground-based data centers, but that assumption is beginning to shift. In a development that underscores how quickly space and computing are converging, Alibaba Cloud has successfully run its Qwen-3 artificial intelligence model in orbit, completing real inference tasks aboard an AI-equipped satellite constellation. The test marks one of the first known instances of a general-purpose large language model operating in space rather than relying on Earth-bound infrastructure. The achievement places China at the forefront of a new category of computing, where data is processed directly in orbit instead of being transmitted back to ground stations. For industries ranging from climate monitoring to communications and national security, the implications are significant. …
