As the Consumer Internet wanes, the spotlight shifts increasingly towards the Industrial Internet.

From the rise of new retail paradigms to the relentless emergence of cutting-edge technologies, every advancement signifies humanity's relentless pursuit of the Industrial Internet.

However, despite numerous explorations, participants seem unable to transcend the boundaries of the Consumer Internet.

The crux lies in their continued reliance on Consumer Internet paradigms without genuinely uncovering technologies and models tailored to the Industrial Internet.

With the advent of the AI era, particularly the emergence of AI applications epitomized by deepseek, AI has blossomed from a nascent idea into a thriving reality.

Whether it's internet giants embracing AI or AI catalyzing new ventures, these are tangible manifestations of this transformative era.

AI has indeed sounded the clarion call for the Industrial Internet.

With AI's ascendancy, the Industrial Internet has undeniably entered a new phase of implementation.

For the Industrial Internet, it is no longer a distant dream but a tangible, accessible reality.

From this vantage point, recognizing the symbiotic relationship between AI and the Industrial Internet may well be the cornerstone underlying the Consumer Internet's myriad transformations.

As the deepseek wave genuinely brings AI into the limelight, we observe that nearly all internet players are leveraging AI to transform themselves and address their developmental conundrums and challenges.

From Alibaba's comprehensive embrace of AI to Tencent's full integration of deepseek, internet giants exhibit a remarkable openness and inclusivity towards AI.

One of the primary reasons for this enthusiasm is AI's ability to address pain points and challenges that previously seemed insurmountable.

These pain points and challenges invariably stem from the Consumer Internet's final stages of evolution and advancement.

Ultimately, internet giants, representing the Consumer Internet's players, must embark on a new evolution, with the Industrial Internet as its ultimate aspiration.

This assertion stems from the fact that the Industrial Internet we advocate aims to transform the Consumer Internet into its ultimate form.

In the past, many technologies and models failed to achieve this transformation due to the inability of the technological nutrient base to nurture new commercial paradigms.

With AI's emergence, everything began to change.

Both internet giants and real economy players can forge new breakthroughs and business models through their integration with AI.

Thus, if we encapsulate the relationship between AI and the Industrial Internet, the crux lies in AI technology fostering new, viable, and closed-loop businesses, which in turn construct new forms of the Industrial Internet.

Today, whether it's AI+e-commerce, AI+social, AI+manufacturing, or AI+driving, they all embody new, viable, and closed-loop businesses.

Imagine when these AI-spawned businesses converge and genuinely replace the "Internet+" model of the Consumer Internet era; the Industrial Internet era's arrival will be a natural, inevitable progression.

If we consider the internet as the foundation of the Consumer Internet era, AI stands as the cornerstone of the Industrial Internet.

In the past, mentioning the Industrial Internet often conjured associations with new supply.

It can be said that new supply has become the benchmark for assessing the Industrial Internet's genuine completion and realization.

Conversely, one of the primary reasons the Industrial Internet remained elusive was players' inability to achieve new supply, merely repackaging the Consumer Internet conceptually.

With the AI era's advent, particularly as AI begins transforming players in the Consumer Internet and related industries, the products and services offered by Consumer Internet players have undergone profound, comprehensive changes.

We can discern these changes in e-commerce's evolution;

We can discern these changes in social media's evolution.

AI-driven new supply's achievement and realization are pivotal in transforming the Industrial Internet from a distant dream into a tangible reality.

Now, when opening any app and entering any Consumer Internet player's ecosystem, we invariably encounter AI's presence and the nascent products and services forged through AI's integration with existing offerings.

Ultimately, AI has profoundly transformed Consumer Internet players, realizing new supply through this transformative process.

If we encapsulate and define AI's phenomenon, it has completed an inside-out transformation of the Consumer Internet, thereby transforming the supply side and ultimately satisfying people's new demands with new supply.

This is another indispensable aspect of the Industrial Internet that warrants our attention.

From this perspective, if we encapsulate and define the relationship between AI and the Industrial Internet, AI realizes the Industrial Internet's new supply requirements, realigning supply and demand, which is another facet meriting our focus.

When the Industrial Internet concept emerged, people often used terms like "virtual-real integration" and "digital-real integration" to describe it.

Therefore, implementing the Industrial Internet typically involved empowering and transforming B-ends.

Practice has proven that mere empowerment and transformation to achieve virtual-real and digital-real integration cannot materialize the Industrial Internet;

Instead, it merely perpetuates the Consumer Internet's vicious cycle.

With the AI era's advent, especially as AI begins bridging the virtual and real economies, the previously elusive virtual-real and digital-real integration is no longer a dream but a tangible reality.

In the context of AI, the concept of transformation and empowerment we once believed in no longer applies; rather, it's about coexistence.

As the empowerment and transformation paradigm fades, the Consumer Internet era's frequent traffic concept is being supplanted by the stock concept.

Under this mechanism, the Consumer Internet era's platform and center concepts cease to exist, evolving into a new form of coexistence.

When such a coexistence ecosystem is achieved, the true Industrial Internet era will cease being elusive and become a realizable reality.

From this perspective, if we encapsulate and define the connection between AI and the Industrial Internet, AI ultimately eradicates the Consumer Internet era's traffic concept, shattering the platform- and center-dominated development model, achieving true de-platforming and decentralization, which is the phenomenon's most direct manifestation.

Final Thoughts

With the AI era's advent, the Industrial Internet, long pursued, has transformed from an elusive dream into a tangible reality.

Thus, AI has indeed sounded the war drum for the Industrial Internet.

Under AI's mechanism, the Industrial Internet has become a tangible reality.

Whether it's the emergence of new businesses, the advent of new supply, or the achievement of virtual-real integration, they are all direct manifestations of this transformative era.

Embracing AI is tantamount to embracing the Industrial Internet.

Faced with the Industrial Internet's trillion-dollar market potential, who will emerge as the key players at this new frontier?

Let's wait and see!
