On January 26, 2026, Tencent announced at its group staff meeting that its AI application, Yuanbao, will distribute 1 billion yuan in cash red packets during the Spring Festival and launch a new AI social feature called 'Yuanbao Pai,' aiming to recreate the success of WeChat's red packet phenomenon in 2015. Tencent hopes to attract users, cultivate usage habits, and seize the C-end AI entry point. Meanwhile, the Ali Qianwen App also announced that it will send red packet benefits to users during the Spring Festival.
