Alibaba's latest large language model, Qwen3.7-Max, is now available on Model Studio, Alibaba's AI development platform, in Singapore region. According to Artificial Analysis's latest global large language model Intelligence Index, Qwen3.7-Max ranked fifth globally and first among Chinese models.

With a score of 56.6 points, it outperformed other Chinese models such as Kimi-K2.6, DeepSeek-v4-Pro-Max, and GLM5.1, while demonstrating performance competitive with leading international models such as GPT, Claude, and Gemini.

Empowering agents with agentic cloud

To enable AI agents to interact more seamlessly with cloud resources, Alibaba Cloud has launched a new Skills portal that converts common cloud capabilities across more than 60 cloud products into Skill-based and MCP-compatible formats.

This allows AI agents to invoke cloud resources as naturally as calling functions. Alibaba Cloud's core products, including databases, big data, operations and maintenance (O&M), and security, have developed dedicated product-level agents to help manage complex cloud environments more efficiently.

Alibaba Cloud is also upgrading its AI infrastructure to better support agent runtime environments, with enhancements such as lightweight execution sandboxes, cross-task memory, seamless data circulation, and intelligent O&M across the full technology stack.

AI-native cloud with models and tools

To simplify access to and deployment of AI models, Alibaba Cloud unveiled Qwen Cloud, a new AI-native cloud platform designed to provide a seamless model service experience for both businesses and AI agents. The platform enables developers, enterprises, and prosumers to build AI-powered applications and agents with greater ease and efficiency.

Qwen Cloud features a three-entry design, with "Skills" for agents and a Command Line Interface (CLI) for workflow integration serving as core agent-friendly access points, alongside a user-friendly website for human users. The platform brings together a comprehensive ecosystem of leading models, including Alibaba's proprietary Qwen models, open-source models, and third-party offerings for text, vision, audio, image, video, and embedding tasks.

Singapore Initiative - equipping SMEs and students with practical skills in generative and agentic AI

Reinforcing its commitment to global AI adoption, Alibaba Cloud, in collaboration with the Tech Talent Assembly, an affiliated association under the National Trade Union Congress (NTUC), and ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (STT GDC), has launched a new initiative to equip over 1,000 local SMEs and students in Singapore with practical skills in Generative and Agentic AI.

Announced at the Qwen Conference, this initiative provides access to Alibaba Cloud's advanced GenAI and agentic AI solutions, including Qwen and Wan, alongside hands-on training to foster real-world AI application understanding.

"This reflects a growing effort by partners to work with the Labour Movement to better support workers, including youths and PMEs, with the skills, guidance and confidence to take on opportunities in the AI economy. Through NTUC's AI‑Ready SG initiative, we will continue working closely with our partners to pool resources and strengthen impact on the ground, so that workers receive tailored guidance and support every step of the way," said Desmond Tan Kok Ming, Senior Minister of State in the Prime Minister's Office of Singapore and the Deputy Secretary-General of the National Trades Union Congress.

Agent products updates for Enterprise Deployment

At the Qwen Conference, Alibaba Cloud debuted the JVS Agent Suite, a set of enterprise-grade agent toolkits for enterprises, developers and individuals to easily build and run exclusive AI agents. Built on the OpenClaw framework with robust cloud-native security, JVS Claw Teams supports 7x24 cloud operation, centralised distribution of an organisation's proprietary Skills, and integrated security management.

Another new product of JVS Agent Suite is JVS Mobile, an enterprise-grade mobile intelligent automation platform. Powered by the Qwen model and native OpenClaw, it enables the creation of AI agents capable of autonomous thinking, efficient multi-agent collaboration, and complex task execution across different applications.

In addition, Alibaba Cloud announced that it has joined the PyTorch Foundation, a community-driven hub for open-source AI under the Linux Foundation, as a Platinum member. Through this, Alibaba Cloud aims to contribute to the development of next-generation AI infrastructure and support the broader open-source AI ecosystem.

At the summit, Alibaba Cloud also launched a global hackathon for developers and startups to build production-grade AI agents with Alibaba's models on Qwen Cloud.

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 26 May 2026 - Parents know that good gut health matters, but terms like gut microbiota, prebiotics, and probiotics can often feel overwhelming and difficult to understand. This World Digestive Health Day (WDHD), Friso, a leading nutrition formula milk brand with over 150 years of Dutch dairy expertise, is simplifying the science behind digestion by bringing to life the concept of a "gut garden" through the sixth edition of its long-standing Good Poop Matters, Baby! campaign.

Through The Secret Garden to Good Poop, Friso aims to help families better understand how everyday habits and nutrition can nurture a healthy digestive system in young children. Over the years, the national campaign has emphasised the important roles a well-balanced diet, regular exercise, and sufficient sleep play in helping young children achieve good poop – and this year's edition spotlights what happens inside the gut, empowering parents with practical ways to support good digestion from within.

Breaking Down the Science of Gut Health

While many parents recognise the importance of good gut health, concepts such as gut microbiota, prebiotics, and probiotics can often feel complex and difficult to grasp.

To bridge this gap, Friso brings these ideas to life with The Secret Garden to Good Poop. Much like a garden, a child's gut needs the right balance of nutrients to thrive. Through this "gut garden" concept, Friso aims to help families better understand everyday habits and the role nutrition plays in nurturing a healthy digestive system, empowering parents with practical knowledge and simple steps to support their child's digestion and overall wellbeing.

"At Friso, we believe good gut health plays a foundational role in a child's growth and development. Through The Secret Garden to Good Poop, we aim to simplify complex concepts like gut microbiota into something parents can easily understand," said Carmen Lim, Brand and Digital Manager, Friso Singapore. "Through an immersive garden experience, we bring Good Poop Matters, Baby! to life, educating families on gut health and showing how daily care and nutrition nurture good digestion, helping build trust from the inside out."

Bringing The Secret Garden to Good Poop to Life

To celebrate WDHD, Friso will host The Secret Garden to Good Poop, an invite-only experiential event held in partnership with The Sundowner, a nature experience centre located at Bukit Timah Fire Station. Invitees will be guided through a curated programme focused on foundational gut health education, including a farm-to-table pizza making workshop that encourages children to "eat the rainbow", bringing the 'gut garden' concept to life.

"At The Sundowner, we've always believed in creating meaningful, nature-led experiences that reconnect families with where their food comes from," said Clarence Chua, Founder, The Sundowner. "Partnering with Friso for The Secret Garden to Good Poop allows us to bring this philosophy to life in a way that is both fun and educational, helping our participants understand the connection between nature, nutrition, and gut health through hands-on activities."

As part of the experience, parents will also gain insights from registered dietitian, Sherllie Kartika, on how to support their child's gut health through everyday nutrition and habits.

Said Sherllie, "Many parents recognise the importance of gut health but may feel overwhelmed by terms like microbiota or pre/probiotics. Using a 'gut garden' analogy can make the concept more approachable, helping parents visualise how everyday habits, such as offering a variety of foods, help nourish beneficial bacteria in the gut. When children's digestive systems are supported in this way, they are better able to digest and absorb the nutrients needed for healthy growth and development."

Friso's Commitment to Care Takes Flight to the Netherlands

As part of its broader commitment to children's gut health, Friso also highlights the role careful milk processing can play in supporting digestion. It was found that high heat treatment can change the structure of milk protein, potentially affecting how easily they are digested. In contrast, gentler processing (or mild heat treatment) approaches may help preserve milk protein closer to its natural state, so it is easy to digest.

This philosophy came to life during a recent trip to the Netherlands, where local singer-songwriter Derrick Hoh and content creator Jeanette Ong visited Friso's farms, R&D facilities, and production sites to better understand how the brand approaches milk production and nutritional care from source to formula.

A Continued Commitment to Gut Health

Since its launch in 2020, Friso's Good Poop Matters, Baby! has been leading advocate for children's gut health in Singapore. Through education, partnerships, and engaging experiences over the years, the campaign has helped parents better understand the role of digestion in their child's overall wellbeing.
