前言 上周去参加了亚马逊的AI峰会，现场有一个数据让我非常震撼： 当前传统企业的IT系统中，仍有约70%的系统尚未迁移至云端 。 为什么这么多年过去了，云计算这么成熟了，这些系统还没搬呢？ 接下来，我们聊 聊为啥不搬，之后咋搬？ （偷偷放几张 亚马逊的AI峰会照片，真的很豪！ 为啥不搬，之后咋搬？ 但现在情况发生了变化。AI写程序的能力越来越强，可以显著降低开发成本和时间投入。这意味着原本"懒得搬"的企业，现在 有动力也有手段 将这些老 系统迁移到云端。 这背后潜藏着一个巨大的云计算增量市场 ，对云厂商来说，是实实在在的"新订单"机会。 因此我认为，AI的发展将成为 推动企业加速上云的关键拐点 ，而真正能接住这一波红利的，还是头部三大云厂商：亚马逊、微软、谷歌。这三家未来我 都会重点跟踪。 以亚马逊为例，它虽然没有接入OpenAI的GPT模型，但它投资了Anthropic，同时云平台上也支持DeepSeek、LLaMA等开源大模型；微软云则绑定了 OpenAI的GPT系列；谷歌也在强化自家模型与云平台的结合。 "模型超市"逐渐成为云厂商的新竞争点 ，AI模型的独占权决定了云服务的客户粘性。 而最近OpenAI ...

Apple (AAPL 0.58%) was the defining stock of the late 2010s and into the early 2020s, but time is up for its leadership position. Although it's still the third-largest company in the world, Microsoft and Nvidia have overtaken Apple, likely for good, as the growth these two are putting up far surpasses Apple's.However, I don't think we've seen the last of companies surpassing Apple in terms of market cap over the next few years. I think we'll see Amazon (AMZN -0.43%) and Alphabet (GOOG 2.42%) (GOOGL 2.40%) s ...

Everyone thinks robotics means clunky factory arms welding car parts together. That outdated view is about to cost investors billions in missed opportunities.
