On the evening of March 16, Alibaba officially announced the establishment of the Alibaba Token Hub (ATH) business group—a new organization centered on the core objectives of "Token creation, Token distribution, and Token application". The business group will be directly led by Wu Yongming (Eddie Wu), CEO of Alibaba.

It is reported that this is a major organizational restructuring by Alibaba for the AI Agent era. With Token Hub as the core thread, Alibaba will strengthen strategic coordination across its AI businesses and fully advance the implementation of its AI strategy.

Alibaba Token Hub integrates Tongyi Lab, the MaaS business line, Qwen Division, Wukong Division, and AI Innovation Division, covering a complete layout from foundational model R&D and model service platforms to AI applications for individual users and enterprises.

Among them, the Wukong Division makes its first public appearance, positioned as a "B-side AI-native work platform that deeply integrates model capabilities into enterprise workflows". This signifies that, in addition to Qwen APP, its consumer-facing (C-side) AI application, Alibaba will also focus on expanding the enterprise-facing (B-side) AI application market.
