Alibaba unveils Quark AI Glasses and consumer chatbot in fresh hardware push

Alibaba Group announced pre-orders for its new Quark AI Glasses, priced at ¥4,699 (≈ US $650), alongside a conversational AI assistant for Chinese users. Shipments will begin in December 2025. The smart glasses integrate real-time translation, music streaming, and voice-controlled calls, reflecting Alibaba’s strategy to merge generative AI with consumer wearables. Industry analysts see this as a move to counter Baidu’s and ByteDance’s AI hardware offerings. The launch underscores China’s accelerating race to commercialize AI devices amid continuing US-China tech tensions.
