Alibaba Cloud announced price increases of up to 34% for AI computing power and storage products due to the surge in global AI demand and rising supply chain costs. Computing power card products will see increases of 5% to 34%, while file storage products will increase by 30%. Additionally, a sharp increase in token call volume is also a factor contributing to the price hikes, with Alibaba Cloud's MaaS business achieving its highest-ever growth rate.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Alibaba Cloud has announced on its official website that due to the explosive global demand for AI and rising supply chain costs, prices for Alibaba Cloud’s AI computing power, storage, and other products have increased by up to 34%. Among them, computing cards such as the Pingtouge Zhenwu 810E have increased by 5%-34%, and the file storage product CPFS (Intelligent Computing Edition) has risen by 30%. According to informed sources, another major reason for this price increase is the “surge in Token call volume.” Alibaba Cloud’s MaaS business, Balian, achieved its highest growth rate from January to March this year. Alibaba Cloud is reallocating its scarce AI computing resources to support Token-related services.
