At Flink Forward Asia Shenzhen 2026, NVIDIA’s Chuan Chen shared how NVIDIA and Alibaba Cloud accelerate multimodal data stream processing for Apache Flink: “NVIDIA and Alibaba Cloud's team technically collaborate to enable the CUDA library-accelerated multimodal data stream processing of Apache Flink.” This open-source collaboration enables end-to-end, high-performance multimodal streaming architectures for AI commentary, live image-text feeds, and interactive Q&A. #NVIDIA# #AlibabaCloud# #ApacheFlink# #DataAI# #AI# #Multimodal# #RealTimeStreaming#

At Flink Forward Asia Shenzhen 2026, Feng Wang, Researcher and Head of Open Data Platform at Alibaba Cloud & Vice Chair of the Alibaba Open Source Committee, highlighted the evolving data foundation for AI: "In the AI era, models and data together determine the quality and efficiency of Agents. Apache Flink evolves into Agentic Streaming for AI, working alongside Agentic Lake to build AI-native data platform." The next generation of intelligent agents is built on a unified, AI-native data infrastructure designed for real-time agentic workflows. #AlibabaCloud# #ApacheFlink# #ApachePaimon# #ApacheFluss# #DataAI# #AI# #Agent# #RealTimeData#

At Flink Forward Asia Shenzhen 2026, Feifei Li, CTO of Alibaba Cloud and President of International Business, shared his perspective on the future of AI: "As the agent era takes off, one concept will dominate—Data Gravity. AI must tackle complex work and, more importantly, create tangible value in real enterprise workflows." AI isn't just about smarter models—it's about solving complex enterprise challenges and delivering real business value. #AlibabaCloud# #ApacheFlink# #ApachePaimon# #ApacheFluss# #DataAI# #AI# #Agent# #RealTimeData#
