The Chinese AI coding market is experiencing a "downward attack" initiated by cloud giants. On February 26, 2026, according to Securities Times, Alibaba Cloud has officially launched an extremely cost-effective AI coding subscription package.

Through a "packaging" model that is first in the global cloud vendors, Alibaba Cloud aims to attract developers at a very low threshold and accelerate the full implementation of its general artificial intelligence (AGI) strategy.

The subscription service launched by Alibaba Cloud completely breaks the limitations of a single model, including the most advanced four open-source large models in China:

  • Qwen3.5: Alibaba's self-developed main force, setting multiple performance records at the same level.

  • GLM-5: A top-tier open-source power from Zhipu AI.

  • Two other top models: Integrated simultaneously, ensuring developers have the most diverse tool choices for different programming scenarios.

Price Killer: Start with 7.9 Yuan for "Coding Freedom"

In terms of business strategy, Alibaba Cloud shows strong aggressiveness:

  • Extremely Low Price: The lightweight subscription service costs only 7.9 Yuan for the first month, almost eliminating the usage barrier for individual developers and startup teams.

  • Computing Power Optimization: The three medium-sized open-source Qwen3.5 models support direct deployment on consumer-grade GPUs, achieving a dual balance of performance and cost.

Industry Background: AI Coding Has Become a "Must-Win Field"

Securities Times analysis points out that with the release of frontier tools such as Claude Code causing market shocks, AI coding has been recognized as the core scenario with the highest commercial value of large models. Alibaba Cloud aims to consolidate its position as a leading core AI infrastructure platform in China by seizing the developer ecosystem through a combination of "low price + open source".
