Alibaba Cloud will increase prices for AI computing and storage products starting April 18.

AI accelerator cards, including the T-Head Zhenwu 810E, will see price hikes between 5% and 34%.

Cloud Parallel File Storage (CPFS) for intelligent computing will increase by 30%.

The company cited soaring global demand and increased supply chain costs for the adjustments.

Surging token usage for the model-as-a-service (MaaS) business also contributed to the decision.
