Ecovacs has recently entered into a full-stack AI strategic partnership with Alibaba Cloud. Under the collaboration, the two companies will jointly develop technologies in embodied intelligence across areas such as AI compute, on-device model deployment, and VLM. Ecovacs will also build vertical large models and a unified agent platform based on Qwen to enhance operational efficiency across the group. Its robot vacuum products have already been connected to Qwen, enabling users to issue cleaning commands directly through voice.
