Entering 2026, the news in the AI industry has become significantly more frequent by an order of magnitude compared to previous years.
In the past few years, our anxiety was only about the upgrades of large models—who developed a better model, who used less computing power. But this year, with products like OpenClaw emerging, even without new model upgrades, such phenomenon-level attention can be achieved. The impact of AI on the lifestyles of ordinary users has intensified yet again.
Of course, anxiety is also directly proportional. Because there is too much information.
We cannot evaluate the pros and cons of the internet protocol HTTP, but anyone can share their experiences and insights on Taobao. The same goes for AI now, and OpenClaw has accelerated everything. On the model side, domestic and international models are compared in the same aggregator to see whose token usage and call volume are higher. On the user side, people watch which AI is making money, and even companies without models seize the opportunity to develop their own lobster products to attract users. Everyone is outputting.
