Alibaba Cloud has announced price hikes of up to 34% on AI computing and storage products due to surging global AI demand and rising supply-chain costs.

Product like T-Head Zhenwu 810E rose 5%-34%, while CPFS (Intelligent Computing edition) storage increased 30%. Sources cite a sharp rise in Token usage as another driver. Alibaba Cloud’s MaaS business, Bailian, recorded record growth in Q1 2026, with scarce AI computing resources now prioritized for Token workloads.
