PHYSIX OBSERVATION

Baidu is clarifying its AI strategic boundaries through organizational restructuring by sinking underlying computing power and model services into infrastructure while positioning agents as standalone products for direct market engagement. This layered 'foundation plus application' approach aims to resolve previous resource fragmentation and accelerate the transition from traffic monetization to technology monetization. The consolidation of forces in office scenarios indicates an attempt to build a deeper moat in the B2B sector.
