Alibaba Joins OpenClaw With Full Suite | Generated by AI

Home 2026.03

Question: Has Alibaba Cloud (Aliyun) released its own version of OpenClaw, similar to what Tencent and Kimi (Moonshot) have done?

Answer:

Yes — Alibaba/Aliyun Has Fully Joined the OpenClaw Race

Alibaba is actually one of the most active players in the Chinese OpenClaw ecosystem right now. Here’s a breakdown of everything they’ve launched:

1. 🦞 JVS Claw — Mobile App (Launched March 13, 2026)

Alibaba released “JVS Claw”, a mobile app for iOS and Android aimed at smartphone users without coding knowledge, allowing them to instruct AI agents to perform real-world tasks. It is free for the first 14 days. It came shortly after Baidu launched its own Android OpenClaw app, with Tencent and MiniMax also competing in the same space.

2. ☁️ One-Click Cloud Deployment via Simple Application Server (轻量应用服务器)

Alibaba Cloud supports deploying OpenClaw directly via their Simple Application Server (轻量应用服务器) using a one-click image deployment. The system automatically detects the nearest Model Studio endpoint and provides the API key. The default model as of early 2026 is qwen3.5-plus.

Tencent, Alibaba, Moonshot, and MiniMax are all offering their own tweaked versions of OpenClaw, and their stock prices have surged alongside the hype.

3. 📦 Coding Plan — Flat-Rate API Subscription for OpenClaw

Alibaba Cloud created a dedicated “Coding Plan” API subscription specifically for OpenClaw users, giving them access to Qwen models under a flat monthly fee rather than pay-as-you-go token billing.

The Coding Plan supports models including qwen3.5-plus, qwen3-max, qwen3-coder-plus, and even third-party models like Kimi K2.5, MiniMax-M2.5, and GLM-5, all accessible from OpenClaw via a single Alibaba Cloud API key.

4. 🛠️ Qwen Code — Their Claude Code Equivalent

Alibaba also has Qwen Code, a terminal-based coding agent (similar to Claude Code), which integrates with the Coding Plan. Users can run /auth and /model commands to switch between all models.

Summary: Where Each Major Player Stands

Company OpenClaw Offering
Alibaba / Aliyun JVS Claw mobile app + one-click ECS deploy + Coding Plan API
Tencent Cloud One-click deploy + offline install booths
Kimi (Moonshot) KimiClaw + Kimi K2.5 model integration
Baidu Android app for OpenClaw
ByteDance (Volcengine) Coding Plan subscription

So if you’re running OpenClaw on Aliyun, you get a pretty tight native integration — the server image, auto-detected API keys, and their Qwen models all work together out of the box.
