The launch was [first reported](https://www.shobserver.cn/staticsg/res/html/web/newsDetail.html?id=1146620) by the Shanghai Observer.\n\nAgent Native Cloud includes AgentTeams for orchestrating multiple specialized agents, Agentic Computer for secure cloud-based execution, and a redesigned infrastructure featuring native sandbox environments, strong workload isolation, elastic scaling, and enterprise identity integration.\n\nAlibaba also showcased internal results, where 15 coordinated AI agents now handle 85% of developer support requests, reduce operational support time by 90%, and compress software release cycles to one day. The company argued that the true value of Agent Native lies in creating reusable organizational knowledge, where skills, governance policies, and optimizations continuously improve across the entire agent ecosystem.\n\nAccording to Zhou, the next phase of competition will not be determined by how many AI agents an organization deploys, but by its ability to transform those agents into controllable, reusable, collaborative, and continuously evolving organizational assets.\n\nEnterprise AI agents took center stage at WAIC 2026. In addition to Alibaba Cloud’s Agent Native Cloud launch, Huawei Cloud announced new programs aimed at expanding AI agent adoption in financial services.\n\nHuawei Cloud is focused on financial AI transformation by expanding its AgentArts platform and the open-source openJiuwen ecosystem.\n\nWorking with leading Chinese financial institutions, Huawei launched the Industry AI Workshop – Smart Finance Zone to standardize reusable AI assets for banking applications.\n\nWith prebuilt workflows, models, datasets, prompts, and engineering tools, the initiative aims to reduce AI development timelines from months to weeks while lowering development costs by more than 60%. Huawei believes standardized, reusable AI assets will accelerate enterprise adoption while ensuring financial-grade security, compliance, and operational reliability.\n\n**Disclosure:** This article was edited by Vivian Nguyen.
