PHYSIX OBSERVATION

Baidu is clarifying its AI strategy boundaries through organizational restructuring by sinking underlying computing power and model services into infrastructure while positioning agents as standalone products facing the market. This layered 'foundation plus application' approach aims to resolve previous resource fragmentation and accelerate the transition from traffic monetization to technology monetization. Concentrating forces on office scenarios indicates an attempt to build a deeper moat in the enterprise sector.
