Sundar Pichai said that the Google Cloud business "is giving up short-term revenue at any given moment" because the company is making compute trade-offs to support the development of frontier AI. The quote comes from a video on Alex Kantrowitz's YouTube channel.
Rohan Paul, citing Sundar Pichai, said that compute capacity for 2027 is basically already gone. Pichai said that if customers come asking for 2027 compute capacity now, it will be very difficult, which is one of the reasons Google rented some short-term compute capacity last year to help customers. The full video was posted on Alex Kantrowitz's YouTube channel.
Alibaba Cloud Model Studio has launched the Token Plan large model subscription service, which uses Credits as a unified unit of measurement, supports models for text, image, and video generation as well as speech recognition, and can be used in tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Qwen Code. Limited-time pricing for the Personal edition ranges from Lite at 39 yuan/month (11,500 Credits) to Pro at 499 yuan/month (180,000 Credits), while the Team edition starts at 150 yuan/seat/month (25,000 Credits) for a standard seat. Credits are dynamically deducted based on model type, Token usage, thinking mode, and tool calls; once a plan's quota is used up, it does not switch to pay-as-you-go billing.
