当红包再次成为中国互联网公司的"核按钮"，这一次，被点燃的不是支付，而是AI助手。 据追风交易台，随着2026年春节临近，中国互联网巨头围绕AI助手的流量争夺，正在迅速升温。腾讯、百度率先 宣布大规模现金红包补贴，阿里、字节跳动被市场普遍预期将加入战局。一场以"春节红包"为引爆点的AI入口之 争，已经悄然打响。 花旗在最新研报中指出，这并非一次简单的春节促销，而更像是中国AI助手迈向全民级应用拐点的重要验证窗 口。 从"红包拉新"到"AI入口争夺"，这一次逻辑彻底变了 春节红包并不新鲜。 从微信支付、支付宝到短视频平台，过去十年，几乎每一轮互联网流量重构，都会伴随春节补贴大战。但花旗强 调，2026年的不同之处在于：争夺的核心标的，已经从"应用"升级为"AI时代的流量入口"。 在花旗看来，AI助手具备三个此前应用不具备的特征： 这也是为什么，2026年被花旗定义为"AI聊天机器人流量争夺战全面升级的一年"。 春节红包只是形式，真正被验证的是"使用习惯" 从已披露的信息看，各家打法已经明显分化： 花旗指出，春节红包的本质，并不是补贴金额，而是"强制用户形成AI使用路径"。只要用户在7—10天高频使用 中形成依赖 ...

红包能撑开多大的AI入口？ 2026年AI圈的年味，在腊八节前后被腾讯和百度拉高。1月25日，腾讯元宝和百度文心先后宣布，要在这个春节分别发出10亿、5亿现金红包，单个红包 最高可得10000元。 双方的玩法有着明显差异：腾讯以优势的"社交裂变"为特色，用户除了可以自己领取红包，还可以分享红包到微信、QQ好友和社群。同时，元宝还在灰 度测试社交类产品元宝派，腾讯董事会主席马化腾称，这本来是绝密的项目。 图注：元宝红包活动 唐辰截图 百度则联动北京广播电视台春晚，并推出三种核心玩法：看视频领钱、前1000名集齐稀有卡得万元、通过文心助手猜口令。其特征就是和"AI深度绑定"， 提升投入产出比。 这种"撒钱抢人"的戏码，在移动互联网时代并不陌生，它们的意图也很明显，希望在春节黄金窗口期实现用户规模与心智的跨越式增长。 但让人唏嘘的是，AI已经进入Agent时代，新一轮超级AI入口的争夺，红包还是那个熟悉的"老演员"，成为各家圈定用户的最佳杠杆。尽管打法各异，所 有参与者的核心目标却高度一致。 腾讯的紧迫感 腾讯是春节红包玩法的"鼻祖"。微信支付在2015年凭借春晚"摇一摇"和5亿红包，在移动支付上撕开一道口子，并改 ...

凤凰网科技讯 北京时间1月27日，百度CEO李彦宏接受了美国《时代》杂志的专访，谈到了百度在AI领 域的发展历程。李彦宏表示，他甚至不相信存在所谓的通用人工智能(AGI)，没有一个模型能够"面面俱 到"，OpenAI不行，谷歌也做不到。在模型发展上，中国落后的没那么多。 在百度北京庞大总部入口大厅的墙上，悬挂着一块镶嵌着金色数字"1417"的小木牌。这个数字取自北大 对面的一间宾馆房间。正是在那里，李彦宏于2000年创立了这家市值500亿美元的公司。 问：你在2000年创办百度时，有没有预料到AI能在今天发挥如此重要作用？ 李彦宏：没有。当时我创办百度时，我意识到互联网将在中国成为一件大事，而搜索技术对于中国互联 网的发展非常重要。但我当时并没有把AI和搜索引擎联系起来。大约在2010年，我们意识到机器学习 (AI的一个分支)开始在搜索结果排名中发挥作用。我们大约在那时开始投资AI，以便研究有多少人会点 击某个链接。随后在2012年，我们意识到深度学习将变得非常重要。它识别图像的精确度远超上一代技 术。百度对AI的实质性大规模投资，正是从2012年左右开始的。 问：你曾提到，去年在将AI融入社会和经济各个领域 ...
