According to cnBeta, today, September 1st, 2026, marks Tim Cook's final working day as Apple's CEO. Since taking over from Steve Jobs in 2011, Cook has led Apple for fifteen years. Under his leadership, Apple launched major product lines including Apple Watch, AirPods, and Vision Pro, with the company's market value hitting record highs time and again. Cook himself has said that starting tomorrow, his title will change. Apple has yet to announce a specific succession plan, but all eyes are on the tech giant's strategic direction after the leadership transition. More details are expected in the coming days.

According to the latest from 36Kr, OpenAI launched a brand-new payment model on September 1st, with a core principle: if the AI doesn't get the job done, you don't pay. Dubbed "pay-for-results," this mechanism breaks with the traditional AI subscription model where users pay upfront whether or not the service actually delivers. In practice, OpenAI will tie billing for certain customers to whether the AI system truly accomplishes the goals they set. If the AI fails to deliver the expected outcome, the fee for that task is automatically waived—no more paying for AI services that don't work. Reports indicate that OpenAI will first pilot this billing approach in select enterprise products, and once it proves viable, gradually expand it to more scenarios, including everyday subscription services for regular users. At the same time, this model means OpenAI is voluntarily taking on the risk of AI "failure" in complex tasks. Many see this as a bold experiment in AI commercialization—using a
more visible promise of results to ease enterprise clients' concerns and stay competitive in an increasingly crowded market. That said, OpenAI has yet to provide a detailed framework for objectively defining what counts as "task completion," or how it plans to prevent users from exploiting loopholes to maliciously refuse payment.

According to The Verge, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission has filed a lawsuit against Amazon, accusing the e-commerce giant of secretly and systematically overcharging advertisers. The complaint alleges that Amazon used its platform algorithms and internal systems to inflate charges in the advertising billing process, causing advertisers to pay extra for services or impressions they never actually received. The FTC claims this was not an occasional mistake, but a deliberate, long-term strategy by Amazon involving a large number of ad transactions. The lawsuit also details how Amazon used technical means to conceal the overcharging, making it difficult for advertisers to detect. Amazon has not yet publicly responded to the lawsuit. The FTC is asking the court to order Amazon to stop the practices and is seeking compensation for affected advertisers. The lawsuit marks another escalation in U.S. regulators' antitrust scrutiny of big tech business practices.

According to Sina Tech, Zhipu AI's revenue in the first half of this year has already surpassed its total for all of last year, with API revenue jumping 2,736% year-over-year. The numbers indicate a significant acceleration in Zhipu's AI commercialization. As the core channel for Zhipu's external technical services, the sharp rise in API revenue directly boosted overall performance. The company did not disclose specific revenue figures but confirmed that its H1 financials have exceeded the full-year level of the previous year. The surge is largely attributed to continued demand for large-model applications and growing procurement of Zhipu's technical services by enterprise clients. Zhipu is now accelerating the development of multimodal large models and industry-specific adaptations, further cementing its position as a leading AI infrastructure provider.

According to Readhub, the annualized revenue of ChatGPT's advertising business has reached $1 billion. The figure marks the business quickly becoming one of the company's key revenue streams after its launch. OpenAI recently began experimenting with an ad model on the ChatGPT platform, gradually showing relevant ads to free users. The newly announced revenue data reflects rapid growth in the advertising segment. So far, OpenAI has not provided further details on specific ad partnerships or future expansion plans.
