ai markets plan

29 Jan 2026

Google announced that its cost-effective AI Plus plan is now fully available in global markets.

The plan covers 35 newly added countries and regions, having been gradually rolled out to dozens of markets since its initial launch in Indonesia last September.

The core features of the plan include access to the Gemini 3 Pro and Nano Pro models within the Gemini app, AI video creation through Veo, research and writing assistance via NotebookLM, 200GB of storage, and the ability to share benefits with up to five family members. Existing Google One Premium (2TB) users will be automatically upgraded to receive all these benefits in the coming days.

Positioned as the first upgrade option after the free tier, the plan primarily targets users who do not need or cannot afford the high-end Pro version priced at $20 per month. Its tiered pricing strategy (e.g., approximately $4.44 per month in India) directly competes with OpenAI’s ChatGPT Go plan. It aims to attract users in emerging markets and casual users with an accessible price point, fostering long-term usage habits and accelerating the adoption of AI technology and enterprise user penetration.

Roger Luo said:Google lowers the threshold for AI usage through a differentiated pricing strategy, filling the gap between the free and high-end markets with mid-range packages. This move not only directly benchmarks competitors, but also focuses on cultivating user habits in emerging markets, laying the foundation for long-term ecological layout.

Amazon Reaches Settlement on Returns Process, to Provide Over $1 Billion in Compensation to Consumers

Amazon has reached a settlement in a class-action lawsuit alleging the company mishandled customer returns and refunds. The settlement is valued at over $1 billion and includes direct compensation to affected consumers as well as process improvements.

According to court documents, the agreement stipulates:

A cash compensation of $309.5 million to be deposited into an irrevocable common fund for the class-action suit;

Approximately $604 million in refunds already issued or in process;

Over $363 million in system optimization investments to enhance the returns process.

In a statement, Amazon said, “Following an internal review in 2025, we identified a small number of return orders where refunds were incomplete or where return verification was delayed. We proactively initiated refunds in that same year and will provide additional compensation in accordance with the settlement agreement.”

The lawsuit, filed in 2023, claimed that issues with Amazon’s returns system led to some consumers being charged for items they had returned, resulting in unjustified financial losses. While agreeing to the settlement, Amazon denies any wrongdoing.

Notably, this settlement marks Amazon’s second major consumer-related agreement in recent times. Last year, the company paid $2.5 billion to settle allegations by the Federal Trade Commission regarding its Prime subscription service. Claims related to that settlement are still being processed.

Sources familiar with the matter indicate that affected consumers can expect to receive notifications about compensation in the coming months. Amazon stated that it will continue to optimize its refund verification system to improve the customer experience.

Roger Luo said:This settlement highlights the systemic challenges e-commerce platforms face in large-scale operations. By proactively offering compensation and optimizing processes, Amazon demonstrates its risk management awareness. However, continuously improving operational transparency remains crucial for maintaining consumer trust and industry accountability.

its tiktok us

28 Jan 2026

With the restructuring of TikTok’s US business, its open-source alternative application Skylight has surpassed 380000 users.

At a time when the ownership change of TikTok’s US business has caused concerns among users, the alternative application Skylight based on open source technology is experiencing rapid growth. This short video application, invested by Mark Cuba and others, and built using a decentralized AT protocol, has recently surpassed 380000 users.

The platform has a built-in video editor, social interaction, and community curation functions. It has accumulated over 150000 original videos and can display Bluesky content synchronously. Data shows that its daily video playback reached 1.4 million, with a growth of over 150% in new user registrations, and multiple core indicators showing multiple fold increases.

This growth wave coincides with TikTok’s completion of its US business restructuring. On January 22, TikTok announced the establishment of a new entity led by American investors, and its parent company, ByteDance, will reduce its shareholding to below 20%. The simultaneous occurrence of ownership changes and technical failures has prompted some users to switch to alternative platforms.

Roger Luo said: This trend reflects a market demand for decentralized social alternatives during ownership shifts in dominant platforms. Open-source architecture and data sovereignty are emerging as key value propositions driving user migration.
