The First Year of Computing Power Inflation: The Cheaper DeepSeek Gets, the Harder It Is to Stop This Round of Price Hikes

The year 2026 marks the beginning of "computing power inflation." While AI inference costs have dropped by over 80% in 18 months globally, China's three major cloud providers—Alibaba Cloud, Baidu AI Cloud, and Tencent Cloud—simultaneously announced price hikes of 20–30%. This reflects a deeper structural shift driven by Jevons Paradox: as unit costs fall (e.g., via models like DeepSeek-R1), demand explodes, especially with the rise of reasoning models and AI agents that consume 10–50x more tokens per task. Although DeepSeek open-sourced its model weights, it did not release its inference optimization stack, leaving a significant engineering efficiency gap between cloud providers and smaller players. The big three are leveraging this advantage to reposition: Alibaba focuses on high-margin premium clients, Baidu filters out low-value users, and Tencent capitalizes on ecosystem lock-in. Meanwhile, ByteDance’s Volcano Engine adopts a more moderate pricing strategy to capture displaced customers. Unexpectedly, the price surge is pushing large enterprises toward self-built computing solutions once their cloud bills exceed a certain threshold. While cloud providers aim to boost profitability, they risk driving away innovative startups and accelerating competition from GPU leasing and domestic hardware providers like Huawei. The涨价 trend is expected to persist for 2–3 years, fueled by rising token consumption from reasoning models, AI agent adoption, and NVIDIA export restrictions. The inflection point depends on whether domestic chips can match NVIDIA’s efficiency, likely around 2027–2028. Until then, cloud providers will maintain pricing power, and the key for AI companies is to optimize token usage—the real moat in this era.

Dialogue with a16z Co-founder: The Physical Laws of the Old World Are Dead, Crypto Becomes Key Infrastructure for AI

At a16z Fintech Connect, Ben Horowitz discusses how AI revolution is fundamentally rewriting the rules of software competition. He argues that traditional moats like data lock-in and UI familiarity are vanishing, as AI can easily replicate code, transfer data, and interact flexibly with software. CEOs of legacy companies must recognize these shifts and pivot towards delivering unique value beyond outdated advantages. Horowitz highlights that while some businesses face obsolescence, others with complex, entrenched operational networks (like travel platforms) may retain relevance. The conversation also covers critical infrastructure bottlenecks in the AI boom—from GPU shortages and power constraints to supply chain issues—emphasizing the need for massive investment in physical and digital infrastructure. Horowitz strongly links AI and blockchain, arguing that crypto is essential for solving AI-generated problems: identity verification, content authenticity, fraud prevention, universal basic income distribution, and enabling AI economic agency. Looking ahead, he speculates on VC’s evolving role—whether it scales up alongside mega-companies or adapts to a decentralized compute landscape—and strikes an optimistic note on AI’s long-term impact, foreseeing unprecedented improvements in global living standards despite transitional disruption.

The Other Side of the Stock Market Rally: Energy Restructuring, Bitcoin Squeeze, and Market Mismatch

The article examines the complex and seemingly contradictory signals in global markets, where rising equities, falling oil prices, and cooling inflation expectations coexist with unresolved structural tensions. In digital assets, a major corporate strategy added nearly $1 billion in Bitcoin, increasing its holdings significantly, while Bitcoin's price action is seen as less important than the persistent negative funding rates, indicating a crowded short position that could lead to a sharp upward repricing. The global oil trade is rapidly rewiring, with the U.S. Gulf Coast becoming a key supplier to Europe and Asia amid Middle East disruptions. However, the article warns that such supply shocks can lead to permanent demand destruction as consumers and governments adapt. U.S. equities rose on optimism over potential geopolitical de-escalation and softer PPI data, led by tech stocks like NVIDIA. Meanwhile, the U.S. Federal Reserve maintains a wait-and-see stance on rates. Geopolitically, U.S.-Iran negotiations are ongoing alongside a maritime blockade, which has disrupted energy infrastructure and supply chains. Finally, the push for supply chain reshoring, particularly in critical minerals and defense, is accelerating but faces significant execution challenges related to permitting, financing, and labor, moving the issue from cost to one of strategic necessity.
