AI不会平均地抬升所有云厂商，这是后进者朝着前排座位冲击的最好机会。 在大模型之前的叙事逻辑中，规模效应驱动行业集中度持续提升，强者愈强的趋势不断强化，谷歌、阿 里云、和AWS、微软的距离只会越拉越大。 但是，大模型让这一切有了可能，云厂商的生意发生了本质变化。有意思的是，对于如何做AI云，即 便是顶级云厂商，也没有很快达成共识。 AI云，巨头也曾犯错 AI云的热闹最早是微软云的。凭借对早期OpenAI的投资，微软拥有GPT大模型的优先使用权，故事很 美好，微软希望通过GPT大模型先带飞Azure，再融入Office、Teams等应用中。 阿里云的目标是让Qwen模型成为产业的默认依赖，就像linux之于服务器，MySQL/HAdoop之于数据， Kubernetes之于云原生，开源为了成为标准。 问题恰恰出在这里，OpenAI不甘于做微软的附庸，不仅多方寻找云资源的替代方案，与AWS、甲骨文 等合纵连横，还推出了和微软有竞争关系的浏览器等产品。微软也不得不投资Anthropic、加大自研模 型力度来应对，双方的合作从最初的美好变为"貌合神离"。 微软云的声势一度超过AWS，这也不禁让"老大哥"有危机感，于是 ...

Summary of Key Points from Conference Call Records Industry Overview - The conference call discusses the cloud computing and GPU market, focusing on major players like ByteDance, Alibaba, and Tencent, and their strategies regarding capital expenditure and GPU procurement. Key Insights and Arguments 1. **Capital Expenditure Plans** ByteDance plans to allocate 60% of its capital expenditure for overseas computing power reserves by 2025, while Alibaba focuses primarily on domestic investments, although it is expected to increase overseas investment to two-thirds by 2026 due to domestic capacity shortages and uncertainties in inference card demand [1][4][3]. 2. **GPU Procurement Trends** - Overseas markets are primarily purchasing high-end NVIDIA cards for complex model training, while domestic markets are shifting towards vertical model training and inference, gradually moving towards domestic alternatives. Tencent has procured a significant number of AMD graphics cards [1][6]. - Domestic cloud vendors are mainly sourcing from domestic manufacturers like Haiguang, Haowuji, and Pingtouge, with a total of approximately 100,000 domestic cards in use [1][15]. 3. **Domestic GPU Procurement Projections** By 2026, it is anticipated that over 60% of GPU procurement will be domestic, although actual implementation may face challenges due to production capacity limitations at SMIC [1][22]. 4. **Challenges in Overseas Operations** There are regulatory and compliance issues related to data cleaning and model training overseas, but major cloud vendors have developed customized data synchronization methods to mitigate these risks [7][8]. 5. **Inventory and Utilization of GPUs** Current GPU inventory includes approximately 600,000 NVIDIA cards, with about 100,000 being traditional models. The utilization rate for commercial purposes is around 30%, with a split of 50% for training and 50% for inference [9][10][11]. 6. **Domestic Card Procurement Strategy** Domestic cards are expected to become the primary choice for inference tasks, with a focus on manufacturers like Haiguang and Pingtouge. The procurement strategy is influenced by the need for compatibility and stable production capacity [15][16]. 7. **Market Dynamics and Competition** ByteDance is positioned as a significant competitor to Alibaba, with substantial GPU reserves and a focus on internal business applications. Tencent is more conservative in its approach, leading to lower competition in project bidding [25]. 8. **Commercialization Challenges for PPU** The commercialization of PPU (a domestic chip) faces hurdles due to a lack of market recognition and preference for NVIDIA products among users. The market is not experiencing a severe supply-demand imbalance, which further complicates PPU's market entry [34][35]. 9. **Future Trends in Data Centers** Liquid cooling technology is becoming prevalent in major data centers, indicating a trend towards more efficient cooling solutions in new builds [37].
