Companies like Alibaba and Baidu are adjusting pricing for cloud services, reflecting this shift. AI is now charged based on token usage, and application-level pricing is also rising. This change indicates a move from software to computing resources, compressing profit margins for application-layer companies while benefiting cloud service providers.

China's robotaxi sector is shifting focus to safety following recent incidents, including a fleet malfunction in Wuhan that left over 100 Baidu vehicles stalled. This has led to a pause on new autonomous vehicle permits and calls for stricter safety inspections.
