Recent excitement surrounding OpenClaw's "Lobster Craze" continues to build, with major domestic internet companies increasing investments in local "mini-lobster" technologies to accelerate adaptation and computing power support. Against this backdrop, Hong Kong's technology sector, which includes leading cloud providers and AI industry leaders, has drawn significant market attention. Industry analysis suggests that OpenClaw's popularity not only validates the practical application of Agent AI but also shifts the competitive landscape from large model capabilities to AI agent ecosystems. This trend is expected to substantially boost demand for computing power and AI cloud IAAS, creating long-term pricing leverage for AI cloud providers and accelerating the commercialization of the AI industry.
In related news, starting March 13, 2026, the intelligent agent development platform Tencent Cloud ADP has optimized pricing strategies for certain models. Key models such as GLM 5, Minimax 2.5, and Kimi 2.5 have concluded their limited-time free public testing phases and transitioned to full commercial services. Concurrently, core models in the Hunyuan series, Tencent HY2.0 Instruct and Tencent HY2.0 Think, have seen price increases, serving as further evidence of accelerating AI commercialization.
As a core segment for AI ecosystem development, Hong Kong's technology sector stands to benefit directly from this industry growth. The Hang Seng Tech ETF (513130), which tracks this sector, has continued to attract market capital. Data shows that over the past 10 trading days, the ETF has drawn over 4.3 billion yuan in inflows.
