Alibaba unveils Qwen Book Agent PC, AI Glasses N1, and AI clip-on earbuds at 2026 Cloud Summit

At the 2026 Hangzhou Cloud Summit opening September 24, Alibaba launched three new Qianwen-series AI hardware products in a single reveal: Qwen Book Agent PC, Qianwen AI Glasses N1/N1 Pro, and Qianwen AI Clip-on Earbuds. The trio covers desktop computing, visual wearables, and auditory interaction, and will go on sale October 13 after opening online reservations.

Qwen Book is Alibaba's first desktop terminal aimed at agent capability. It uses a 2-in-1 tablet-plus-keyboard form factor with a dedicated AI key. The system-level adaptation of the Qianwen model supports autonomous office work such as document editing, data organization, and schedule coordination, and runs apps across Windows, Android, and Linux. Built around an 'OS as Harness' principle, it partners with the Omarchy open-source project to explore a next-generation desktop operating system for agents.

The Qianwen AI Glasses split into N1 and N1 Pro. Both use a multi-chip design and a 50-megapixel sensor capable of 4K capture with stabilization. N1 Pro adds eye tracking and iris payment, enabling goods recognition, information query, and payment validation through gaze, alongside continuous monitoring of heart rate, blood oxygen, and body temperature via built-in sensors. The temples use a swappable battery design to address wearable battery life. The Qianwen AI Clip-on Earbuds use an open-fit structure suitable for all-day wear. Alibaba also announced Qwen Intelligence, an end-to-end phone AI solution for device vendors.
