So I want to talk first about what Alibaba has done in the world of agents and just characterize Alibaba as sort of the research lab oriented thing, while ByteDance is the commercialization and popularization of AI winner over there.
And I'll explain why in a moment, but...
Alibaba has introduced a new system called Agent Evolver, and their Tong Yi Lab developed this new framework for self-evolving agents that create their own training data by exploring their application environments.
Okay, so it's a model that has all the sort of training and tools that it needs to just be dropped into any software environment and master it overnight without a lot of human intervention.
So understand everything that's going on in that environment.
And so it's a self-evolving agent system.
It overcomes the challenges of achieving that holy grail of, hey, I can just drop this agent in there.
It'll figure out everything that's going on in this system and so on.
And just as a side note, we're going to talk in a moment, I'm sure, about AWS.
And AWS has a system that they're already deploying in certain, it was a part of their announcements at their big event that's underway right now.
And we'll talk about that.
But they also have a system that's being used right now to go in and do upgrading of software systems autonomously.
So it goes in and figures out what to do.
Of course, it has to get permission to actually push those changes, but it's doing that.
So this is a really important capability because all these legacy systems that exist out there need this kind of help.
And Alibaba's agent Evolver is designed to do this kind of thing.
So it's also then capable of operating in real world environments, not just software environments.
And so it's a major advance that way.
So I wanted to mention Agent Evolver.
It's a new approach to agent training in effect.
