Qwen merges into Taobao; Qwen3-Max-Thinking pushes 'A2A' agent commerce

Alibaba is preparing to deeply integrate Qwen AI into Taobao and Tmall, turning keyword shopping into conversational, agent-driven browsing across 4 billion+ products with a logistics and after-sales 'skills library.' It also introduced Qwen3-Max-Thinking, a test-time-scaled reasoning model with native tool use, and expanded its Accio Work autonomous enterprise AI agent — pitching a shift from B2B to 'A2A' (agent-to-agent) trade.
