Alibaba Cloud AI Computing Power and Storage Products Up to 34% Price Increase

2026-03-18 12:39

ChainThink report: On March 18, Alibaba Cloud announced on its official website that due to the global surge in AI demand and rising supply chain costs, prices for AI computing power, storage, and other products have increased by up to 34%.


Among them, computing accelerator cards such as the Pingtouge Zhenwu 810E have seen price increases ranging from 5% to 34%, while file storage product CPFS (Intelligent Computing Edition) has increased by 30%.


According to informed sources, another key reason for this round of price hikes is the sharp increase in "Token call volume." Alibaba Cloud's MaaS business, Bailian, achieved record-breaking growth rates in the first quarter of this year. Alibaba Cloud is now reallocating scarce AI computing resources toward Token-based services.
