Alibaba is making a serious move in consumer AI hardware. According to sources inside the company, Qwen, Alibaba's personal AI assistant brand, will unveil AI glasses at MWC Barcelona next week, with pre-orders opening March 2. More hardware is coming throughout 2026: AI earbuds, smart rings, all targeting global markets. The vision from Alibaba is clear: Qwen should be a cross-device AI assistant platform, not just a model or a chatbot. Software plus hardware, across multiple form factors. Worth watching how this plays out internationally.
