# Alibaba Launches Agent Native Cloud Architecture at World AI Conference

> At the World AI Conference in Shanghai on July 18, Alibaba Cloud unveiled what it calls Agent Native Cloud, an infrastructure stack built specifically to run autonomous AI agents rather than traditional applications. It is a bet that the next wave of cloud demand will come from software that acts on its own. The stack has three main pieces: AgentTeams, for coordinating multiple agents working together; an Agentic Computer that gives agents a secure, sandboxed place to execute; and shared infrastructure for reusable agent skills. The design assumes agents need containment and orchestration as first-class features, not afterthoughts. The announcement fits a clear industry pivot. As enterprises start handing real workloads to autonomous systems, cloud providers are racing to become the default place those agents live, and Alibaba is staking an early claim in the Chinese market while the shape of agent infrastructure is still being defined.
