Claiming the "Happy Horse": Alibaba's AI Lays Out the "Eight Trigrams Formation"

Alibaba has officially claimed the "HappyHorse" (HappyHorse-1.0) AI video generation model, which recently topped the global benchmark on Artificial Analysis with an Elo score of 1357. Developed by Alibaba’s ATH (Alibaba Token Hub) innovation unit, the model is notable for its ability to generate high-definition video with synchronized audio and sound effects from text input, significantly improving motion coherence and reducing production time and cost. This launch is part of a broader acceleration in Alibaba’s AI strategy. In late March and early April, the company released three flagship models in quick succession: Qwen3.5-Omni, Wan2.7-Image, and Qwen3.6-Plus. The latter broke global daily call volume records with 1.4 trillion tokens processed shortly after release. Alibaba has also undergone significant organizational restructuring to support its AI ambitions. In March, it established the ATH business group, led by CEO Wu Yongming, to integrate AI development, cloud services, and application deployment. Further changes in April included forming a group-level technology committee and consolidating the Tongyi Lab into a dedicated AI model division. The company is investing heavily in AI, with plans to spend over 380 billion RMB on cloud and AI infrastructure over three years. Its self-developed GPUs have already seen mass production. While the market has responded positively to these moves, challenges remain in balancing centralized control with operational flexibility and maintaining team stability amid rapid changes.
