Alibaba owns the South China Morning Post.<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">The new service is powered by Moore Threads\u2019 MTT S5000 GPU, based on its fourth-generation Pinghu architecture, which entered mass production in 2025.<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">The chip has become a core revenue driver for the company, which said earlier this month that it expected revenue to triple this year.<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">Moore Threads said the launch represented \u201ca key breakthrough\u201d for home-grown chips and large-scale models in AI coding, arguing that China had overcome a long-standing bottleneck in AI productivity tools by relying on domestic computing power.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Moore Threads\u2019 push into AI coding comes weeks after the company listed on Shanghai\u2019s Star Market.
