Goldman Sachs stated that Tencent, Baidu, Alibaba, and ByteDance have all launched lightweight cloud deployment packages for OpenClaw. Given the extensive user reach of Tencent's products such as WeChat, QQ, and Enterprise WeChat, the firm believes Tencent is more likely to win consumer traffic in this round of competition.
Analysts, including Ronald Keung, noted in a report that at the artificial intelligence model level, MiniMax, with its comprehensive multimodal products, strong commercialization capabilities, cost advantages from token-based pricing, and high organizational efficiency, is the company in China best positioned to benefit from the significant global growth potential in the text/code, multimodal, and agent/digital labor sectors.
Although revenue growth is expected to slow and profits to remain weak for Chinese internet giants in the upcoming earnings season, the decline in these companies' stock prices since the beginning of the year has largely priced in the pessimistic expectations for the fourth quarter.
With evolving narratives around the scaling of AI agents and the expansion of token demand, coupled with improved investment discipline by internet giants in non-AI areas such as instant retail, the risk-reward profile for these companies is attractive.
