Core Insights - The year 2026 is anticipated to be a pivotal moment for the AI agent industry, with significant policy developments, accelerated actions from tech giants, and increased capital market investments [1][3] - There are differing opinions on the current state of competition in the AI agent space, with some believing that leading players like ByteDance and Alibaba have initiated a peak competition, while others argue that the market is still in its infancy due to technological limitations and ecosystem challenges [1][5] Investment Trends - The popularity of AI agents is reflected in capital movements, with five out of the top ten investment sectors in 2025 being directly related to AI agents [3] - Approximately 20% of new unicorns are centered around AI technology, indicating a crowded and competitive landscape with over 120 domestic AI agent platforms [3][4] AI Agent Maturity Levels - AI agents can be categorized into three levels: "basic" agents for simple tasks, "upgraded" agents capable of more complex operations, and future "complete" agents that may operate autonomously like humans [3][4] - Currently, most domestic AI agents are still at the "basic" level, performing tasks such as PPT creation and translation, with only a few, like Doubao and Qianwen, reaching the "upgraded" level [4][5] Competitive Landscape - The competitive hierarchy is emerging, with ByteDance and Alibaba leading as "seed players" capable of providing comprehensive solutions, followed by specialized players and those offering technical tools [7] - The Chinese AI agent market is expected to be dominated by large enterprises, which will hold about 80% market share due to their clear business needs and data foundations [7] Advantages of Leading Players - ByteDance and Alibaba's competitive edge stems from their self-developed large models, extensive ecosystems, and profitable products that can be scaled [8][11] - Alibaba's ecosystem is seen as a "super entrance" for activating its vast commercial network, while ByteDance leverages its traffic advantages through platforms like Douyin and TikTok [11][12] Challenges Faced by Leading Players - Despite their advantages, both companies face challenges: Alibaba's ecosystem is heavily reliant on its own platforms, limiting cross-platform collaboration, while ByteDance's late entry into the market has resulted in a lack of deep industry knowledge [12][14] - The competition is fierce, with predictions that 90% of AI agents may be overshadowed by large models, making it difficult for smaller players to compete [13] Market Dynamics - The AI agent market is characterized by a complex and broad landscape, suggesting that no single company can dominate entirely, leading to a multi-track, differentiated competition [18] - While ByteDance and Alibaba currently lead, there remains room for other players to carve out niches in vertical markets and through technological differentiation [18]

这场争战为何于当下打响？ 从技术角度看，大模型的能力已足以支撑复杂任务的处理，AI正在从能聊天的"机器人"进化为能办事 的"智能体"。 互联网巨头们又一次打响"红包大战"。这一次，主战场从移动支付转向了人工智能。 2月1日，"上元宝，分10亿"活动上线，这是腾讯继2015年春晚投入5亿元红包后再度在春节"撒钱"。"元 宝派"多人多智能体群聊功能也于前不久开始内测，由于打通了微信、腾讯视频、QQ音乐等腾讯核心社 交产品，"元宝派"可协助用户发起聊天、健身、阅读等各种花式玩法。 2月2日，阿里"千问"宣布投入30亿元启动"春节请客计划"。此前千问APP宣布接入淘宝、支付宝、飞 猪、高德等阿里生态场景，用户可在千问APP内直接点外卖、订机票、订酒店。 百度和字节跳动同样没有缺席。百度将文心助手深度嵌入百度APP，并投入5亿元现金红包；字节跳动 则凭借火山引擎成为总台春晚独家AI云合作伙伴，用户可通过豆包参与抢红包。 数十亿元重金投入的背后，是一场关于下一代"超级流量入口"的争夺战，关系着未来十年的竞争格局。 华尔街最知名的颠覆性创新投资者之一、被誉为"女版巴菲特"的方舟投资创始人"木头姐"（Cathie Wood） ...

郭晨凯 制图 ◎记者 罗茂林 2026年春节对各大AI厂商而言注定火药味十足。先是腾讯率先官宣砸下10亿元现金红包，百度紧随其 后投入5亿元，阿里更是放出30亿元补贴计划。 随着一场场"红包雨"的来袭，让人不禁回想起十年前移动支付刚兴起时的争夺盛况。眼下，大厂再次真 金白银投入，或意味着AI应用的争夺战步入白热化。 "我觉得红包本身只是一种大众最容易感知的营销手段，实际上它反映的是AI应用的角逐已经进入白热 化。"深耕行业多年的AI播客"十字路口Crossing"主播Koji告诉上证报记者，在业内来看，此前各大厂商 在AI应用领域的投入已经到了"精锐尽出"的地步。 据一位接近腾讯的人士透露，此次红包策略经过深思熟虑。此前OpenAI前研究员姚顺雨加盟腾讯，让 后者大模型整体水平有了明显提升。"技术能够支撑，或许也是内部认为可以动用微信流量，打好红包 战的原因。" 事实上，在近期一封内部信中，阿里CEO吴泳铭坦言，AI正以前所未有的速度重塑世界，消费方式和 结构也在深刻改变。他明确表示："面对这样的历史机遇，我们必须全力以赴。" 有意思的是，2月5日晚间，一直对此轮"红包雨"保持沉默的字节跳动也公布了最新的动态 ...

Core Insights - The AI red envelope competition during the Spring Festival has sparked widespread public participation, with companies like Baidu, Tencent, and Alibaba investing billions in cash to attract users and talent [1][2] Group 1: Company Strategies - Baidu initiated a 500 million yuan red envelope plan, allowing users to share in cash rewards while using its AI assistant, Wenxin, which attracted over 50 million participants within a week [1][2] - Tencent doubled its red envelope pool to 1 billion yuan and aims to recreate the success of WeChat red envelopes by directly returning saved marketing budgets to users [2] - Alibaba's Qianwen announced a 3 billion yuan "Spring Festival Treat" plan, offering not only cash but also services like movie tickets and meal bookings, integrating various Alibaba ecosystem services [2] Group 2: User Engagement and Market Potential - The user base for generative AI in China has reached 515 million, with a penetration rate of 36.5%, indicating a significant untapped market [2] - Major AI applications like Baidu's Wenxin, ByteDance's Doubao, Alibaba's Tongyi Qianwen, and Tencent's Yuanbao have all surpassed 100 million monthly active users, highlighting the competitive landscape [2] - Experts suggest that while cash incentives can attract initial users, long-term engagement requires multiple interactions to develop habitual usage, warning against the risk of creating "zombie users" [2][3] Group 3: User Experience and Retention Challenges - Baidu's approach of embedding Wenxin within its existing app, which has 700 million monthly active users, reduces barriers for user engagement [3] - The effectiveness of AI red envelopes depends on the perceived utility of the application; if users find the AI unhelpful, they may disengage after claiming rewards [3] - Retaining users post-promotion will depend on the quality and uniqueness of AI functionalities, as companies face the challenge of maintaining user loyalty beyond initial cash incentives [3]

每经记者｜赵雯琪 每经编辑｜陈柯名 记者|赵雯琪 AI的使用习惯，最终还是要靠大厂背后繁荣的生态、坚实的技术底座来实现，用户看的还是模型的智能程度、回答的准确率、功能的实用性以及能否融 入每天的生活和工作流等等。 几乎同步，腾讯迅速加码，将红包池翻倍至10亿元，并于2月1日起通过其AI应用"元宝"开启抽奖活动。腾讯创始人马化腾在内部年会上罕见发声，直言希 望"重现当年微信红包引爆社交的盛况"。他强调，元宝将把节省下来的营销预算直接回馈用户，让用户在互动中重拾"抢红包"的乐趣。 阿里千问则宣布的30亿"春节请客计划"，折射出"下后手棋"的优势。从2月6日起，用户在千问APP里不仅能领现金，还能直接买电影票、订年夜饭、买年 货，甚至联动飞猪、盒马、大麦等阿里生态业务进行"全链路免单"。 据中国互联网络信息中心数据显示，我国生成式AI用户规模已达5.15亿，普及率为36.5%，意味着仍有近六成潜在市场尚未开发。目前，百度文心、字节 豆包、阿里通义千问和腾讯元宝的月活跃用户均已突破亿级。谁能率先撬动这片空白地带，或将决定谁能在AI浪潮中实现"鲤鱼跃龙门"。 红包只是引流的第一步。专家指出，仅靠一次性现金激励难以培养长 ...

红包惹眼，巨头焦虑，战况激烈，冷暖自知。微信刚封了自家兄弟元宝的红包链接，马云现身千问办公 地点督战AI军备，红包+AI无疑是马年春节的流量C位。 但平台拿出何种营销策略？用户又喜欢哪种抢红包姿势？在流量、成本、玩法和平台规则的复杂交织 下，"重现11年前的微信红包时刻"并不容易，重现"微信红包'偷袭珍珠港'"的胜利更不容易——前者是 马化腾今年的期望，后者是马云当年的警觉。 红包在AI身上找到了与时代进步的张力，但大厂还没领悟绝杀对手的窍门。似乎，在砸钱——屡试不 爽的互联网流量方法论面前，任何技术动作变形，都动摇不了巨头的自信。 这种自信，大概有七成得益于AI各种参数，还有三成，势必有赌的成分。 春节是自然年2025和2026的无缝衔接，也是AI全天候竞赛的顺流直下。没有春节这个节点，贯穿整年 的AI竞争是胶着的，无论从用户认知还是平台数据，大厂谁也打服不了谁；有了春节这个AI认知的宣 泄口，十亿、几十亿砸进去，纵然未必决胜千里，总能溅起漂亮水花。 很多人为红包大战算账，给大厂水平定高下。最普通的受众，也能从"块儿八毛"或"万元大奖"中给出答 案。 成功的红包产品无不深植于对人心人性的洞察，对具体场景的精 ...
