价值50亿的红包正在向你涌来！ 春节倒计时，大厂红包大战的氛围越来越浓。文心、元宝、千问、豆包，这些在科技圈耳熟能详的AI产品，正试图借助一年一度的春节流量洪峰从极客玩具 升级成大众工具。 熟悉的红包营销手段，却有着截然不同的运营目标：AI的全民化破圈。 当大洋彼岸的OpenAI用GPT-5重塑一切，当Google的Gemini悄然融入数十亿用户的搜索框时，中国的科技大厂们坐不住了。这场被称为"首届AI春节红包 大战"的混战背后，是2025年中国互联网关于AI的集体焦虑，或者说，FOMO（Fear of Missing Out，害怕错过）情绪的集中爆发。 无需多言，红包大战一定会成为AI技术普及的催化剂。十一年前的春节，微信红包引爆移动支付，让全球用户跑步进入无现金支付时代。但现在，一个问题 却不容回避：当前AI产品成熟度到了移动支付当时的状态吗？如果没有，声势浩大的AI红包大战，还能复刻当年移动支付大战的成功叙事吗？ AI红包大战能否复刻移动支付大战？ 回望移动互联网时代那几场经典的红包战役，移动支付、网约车、短视频、外卖都有一个共同特征：加速的是成熟度极高的应用级产品。比如2014年红包 大战爆发时，扫码 ...

加速包减速，约谈别止步。腊月二十三，小年。携程、去哪儿、飞猪等12家平台，被北京市市场监管局 请去"喝茶"。茶不好喝，话很直接：下架误导产品、禁用12306标识、明码标价——四项整改，条条打 在七寸。 这场约谈，揭开的是一盘盘"灰色火锅"。 所谓"双通道VIP抢票""光速加速包"，乍听是技术赋能，实则是把12306免费候补功能剥皮拆骨、浇上浓 汤，再以三倍价钱端回桌上。消费者花60元买"加速"，平台转手用他的账号提交一个免费候补订单，抢 到票了邀功，抢不到退款了事。稳赚不赔，无本万利。 这不是创新，是障眼法；不是服务，是智商税。 更耐人寻味的是，这12家平台，没有一家是小作坊。携程、美团、滴滴、高德、百度、腾讯——全是互 联网江湖的头部玩家。他们不缺技术，不缺法务，更不缺钱。他们缺的，是对规则的那点敬畏。 这就好比五星级酒店在厨房后门卖地沟油，吃相难看，胆子还大。 有人问：为什么年年春运年年骂，年年治理年年犯？ 答案藏在"约谈"两个字里。约谈是行政提醒，不是行政处罚；是请来喝茶，不是请去法院。若平台算清 了账——违规收益远高于五十万罚款，那约谈就成了生意经："这次整改，下次继续"。 平台称加速，实售旧葫芦。 ...
