China’s artificial intelligence hyperscalers have quickly added cloud support for Moltbot, formerly known as Clawdbot, an open-source AI agent that has exploded in popularity globally. This week, three of China’s biggest cloud service providers – Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud and ByteDance’s unit Volcano Engine – began offering access to Moltbot with support from their respective suite of models. Alibaba Cloud is the AI and cloud services unit of Alibaba Group Holding, owner of the SCMP. Smaller cloud providers have also added Moltbot, including the cloud unit of JD.com and Shanghai-based UCloud.
