On February 5, 2026, Alibaba Group announced a major brand integration plan: unifying all AI technologies and core brands under the name **"Qwen"**. This move aims to eliminate market confusion caused by multiple brands in the past and marks a new stage of highly focused brand communication in Alibaba's AI field.

Brand Unification: Ending Name Confusion

Before this adjustment, Alibaba's large models had been referred to as "Tongyi Qwen," "Qwen," "Qwen," among others, which affected users' perception of brand consistency to some extent.

Unified Naming: Going forward, the official Chinese name for Alibaba's large model brand will be unified as **"Qwen Large Model."**

English Identifier: The English name Qwen will be used globally.

Scope Coverage: This brand will cover from the underlying basic large model to specialized domain models across various industries.

Organizational Division: Clear Positioning of Tongyi Lab

At the same time as clarifying the brand name, Alibaba also clarified the naming conventions for the organizational structure:

Organizational Positioning: **"Tongyi Lab"** will continue to be used as the name of a research institution under Alibaba Group.

Technology Output: This lab will continue to be responsible for the core technology development and evolution of the Qwen Large Model.

Breaking News: SpaceX's Million-Satellite System Accepted by FCC

While Alibaba was integrating its brand, another major announcement came from the aerospace field. On February 4 local time, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) officially accepted SpaceX's application to deploy a new non-geostationary orbit system consisting of one million satellites.

Application Deadline: The application was submitted on January 30, 2026.

Public Feedback: The FCC has now started to publicly seek comments, with the deadline set for March 6, 2026.

Through this brand "streamlining," the Qwen Large Model will participate in the global AI market competition with a clearer identity.
