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#

The biggest marketplace on earth won't be assets humans own. It'll be the data AI needs. And we won't see any of it. I sat down with @jvisserlabs to map out Reed's Law, the invisible economy, the AI supercycle, and what it all means for capital markets. As ever, please enjoy!

A new Discord leak suggests the platform may be working on spatial audio for voice chats. Dataminers discovered references to the feature inside Discord Canary builds, the app’s experimental testing version. The leaked code suggests users could place people in virtual positions during calls, making voices sound like they are coming from different directions while using headphones. Voice layouts could include: - Line - Arc - Grid Users may be able to adjust: - Room size - Distance between participants - Audio positioning Voices would sound more natural in group calls. People farther away could sound quieter. Left and right positioning would change how voices are heard. The feature could help make large voice chats easier to follow by separating voices instead of having everyone sound centered in the same space. Discord has not officially announced the feature, and Canary leaks do not guarantee a public release

Day 1 at @Ai4Conferences showed that bigger models are only part of the AI story. From chips and compute to enterprise agents, governance, security and ROI, we heard from @googlecloud, @dataiku and @okta on what it takes to move AI into the real world froom @teslaownersSV #ChinaAMC# #CNQQ# #AI4# #AI# #ArtificialIntelligence# #AgenticAI# #EnterpriseAI# #FutureOfAI# Risk Disclaimer: Investment involves risk, including possible loss of principal.
