[00:00:00]35 hours, 1,000 tool calls, no supervision. That's what Alibaba says its newest AI model can do on its own.

[00:00:08]Yesterday in Hangzhou, they called it China's AI factory. Qwen 3.7 max ranked 13th on the LM Arena leaderboard. It's proprietary, not open weight. The procurement conversation about Qwen in 2026 is not the same one it was in 2025.

Add a vendor stack you cannot audit, and the approval question becomes unanswerable. [music] The full breakdown is on the channel today. Three questions every board should be tabling. Promise and risk of AI.
