Alibaba Cloud named Emerging Leader in all Gartner GenAI quadrants for 2025

Alibaba Cloud, the digital technology and intelligence backbone of Alibaba Group, was recognized once more as an Emerging Leader across all four quadrants evaluated in the latest Gartner “Innovation Guide for Generative AI” reports published in November 2025.

According to Gartner, the Emerging Market Quadrant provides “a visualization of generative AI vendors” in a “dynamic and fast-moving market,” and “Emerging Leaders typically possess visibility within the market as well as both strong features and future potential.”

"We believe our recognition as an Emerging Leader across the GenAI stack is a powerful validation of our integrated 'AI + Cloud' strategy," said Jingren Zhou, Chief Technology Officer of Alibaba Cloud Intelligence.

"From the optimized infrastructure that powers AI, to our leading Qwen models, the tools to engineer specialized applications, and the productivity apps that deliver value to end-users, we are committed to providing a holistic ecosystem that empowers businesses to innovate and succeed in the fast-moving era of AI," he added.

The four quadrants covered in the Gartner “Innovation Guide for Generative AI” reports are: Generative AI Specialized Cloud Infrastructure, Generative AI Model Providers, Generative AI Engineering, and Generative AI Knowledge Management Apps.

The Gartner reports provide context for the critical capabilities in each domain—capabilities Alibaba Cloud believes are addressed by its offerings in Generative AI Specialized Cloud Infrastructure, Generative AI Model Providers, Generative AI Engineering, and Generative AI Knowledge Management Apps.

“We’re approaching GenAI holistically with a focus on how these technologies will be adopted and add value over time. With the pace of innovation only set to increase, we’ve tailored our ecosystem of capabilities to meet the future of this dynamic industry,” Zhou added.

Last year, Alibaba Cloud was also named an Emerging Leader in all four quadrants evaluated in the previous Gartner® “Innovation Guide for Generative AI Technologies” report.
