Happy to announce that Ant Group’s @Alipay AI Pay and @AQ_AIhealth have both been named to @TIME’s Best Inventions of 2026 list: ti.me/best-inventions
This August marks the 10th anniversary of Alipay Ant Forest, Ant Group’s green initiative that turns everyday low-carbon actions into tangible environmental impact.
Since 2016, more than 700 million people across China have joined Ant Forest, helping support the planting of 700 million trees in some of China’s most arid and environmentally fragile regions.
Over the past decade, Ant Group has invested more than US$759 million in tree-planting and ecological restoration projects initiated through Ant Forest.
The impact also extends to local communities. These initiatives have created approximately 5.2 million job opportunities and generated US$115 million in additional income for local communities.
10 years of small actions adding up to beautiful changes. 🌍
Ant Group's 2025 Sustainability Report disclosed a record R&D investment of USD 5.17 billion (RMB 35.03 billion) in 2025—the fifth straight year of growth—alongside AI-powered green computing breakthroughs that contributed to cutting operational carbon emissions by 55.32% year-on-year. These milestones reflect Ant Group's commitment to sustainable AI development.
“Does technological advancement necessarily lead to shared prosperity? The answer lies not in the technology itself, but in the people who use it,” wrote Eric Jing, Chairman of Ant Group, and Cyril Han, CEO of Ant Group in their joint address. “Making AI a driver for shared prosperity—this is our answer to the age of AI, and our shared commitment to the future."

🌍 Reality is expensive. Simulation is the shortcut. But what if the simulation could think, respond, and remember? Today, we open-source LingBot-World, an interactive world model built on @Alibaba_Wan Wan2.2! 🔥
We’re pushing the limits of:
🔷 High-Fidelity Simulation & Precise Control
🔷 Long-Horizon Consistency & Memory
🔷 Modeling Physical & Game Worlds
It that can generate nearly 10 minutes of controllable, physics-grounded simulation in real-time. A digital training ground for embodied AI. 👇

Ant Group today launched LingGuang, a next-generation multimodal AI assistant and the first of its kind in China that interacts with users through code-driven outputs.
Equipped with the capability to understand and produce language, image, voice and data, LingGuang delivers precise, structured responses to complex queries through 3D models, audio clips, charts, animations, interactive maps, and even immediately generated applications, in addition to traditional text-based conversation.
LingGuang is now available for download on the Apple App Store and major Android app stores.
He Zhengyu, Chief Technology Officer of Ant Group, noted, “At Ant Group, we believe Artificial General Intelligence should be a public good—something that benefits everyone, not just experts. LingGuang is bringing every user their own personal AI developer: someone who can code, create visuals, build apps, and turn complex ideas into simple solutions—right in your pocket.”
Eric Jing, Chairman of Ant Group, said during a panel discussion titled "Steering the Global Future" at the Singapore FinTech Festival 2025 that the company’s focus is on putting new payment and operations tools powered by AI and tokenization technology in the hands of SMEs, to fully embrace the next wave of the global productivity revolution.
On the consumer front, Jing expects the rise of personalized AI financial managers and advisors. On the business front, Jing said that the use of AI agents for payments, reservations and deposits is just the beginning.
"AI agents in agentic systems have been working together to perform more complex tasks, and they must work together to ensure that everything can be completed efficiently," he said, adding that the ‘agentic payments’ wave will boom very quickly.
Jing was joined by Agustín Carstens, Former General Manager, Bank for International Settlements (BIS); Ravi Menon, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Global Finance & Technology Network (GFTN); Ambassador (Climate Action), Singapore & Former Managing Director, Monetary Authority of Singapore, GFTN, and Dr. Razeen Sally who moderated the panel.#SFF2025
