   Five paying users reveal the appeal and limits of AI companions

   36氪, drawing on interviews by AIX财经 with five adults who pay for AI companion services, reports that users seek immediate emotional support, a place to confide, and help expressing themselves. Monetization spans low-cost monthly plans, memory packs, top-ups, creator gifts, and pricier general-model memberships, while users also cite forgotten conversations, mechanical replies, broken personas, rising expectations in real relationships, and risks to minors. The report says platforms are tightening reviews and adjusting their products as the market develops.

   NetEase's Xinyu dating app draws complaints over paid chat and contact unlocks

   Beijing Business Today reported, in an article carried by cnBeta, that users of Xinyu — a stranger-social app NetEase Cloud Music launched in 2020 — spend money on coins to raise "intimacy level," with the chat interface stating that contact details can be sent once the level reaches 9. One user, identified as A Qiang, said he spent nearly 10,000 yuan reaching the threshold without the contact being unlocked, and Xinyu's customer service said whether contact details are sent depends on the other user's willingness and the platform cannot force it. A reporter who topped up 6 yuan for 70 coins received an "insufficient coins" prompt after nine minutes and 22 messages, and the report cites more than 1,200 complaints mentioning Xinyu on the Black Cat complaints platform, plus complaints that human customer service is hard to reach behind AI-generated replies.

   NetEase Cloud Music's CloudEar wins MIREX 2026 music-evaluation track at 73.9%

   NetEase Cloud Music's in-house CloudEar music-evaluation model took first place in the MIREX 2026 track "Music Evaluation via CMI-RewardBench" with 73.9% accuracy, according to PingWest. The track asks a model to judge which of two generated songs better matches human preference given the songs and a text prompt, scored mainly on judgement accuracy. The report says CloudEar beat the organisers' CMI-RM Baseline (65.9%) by 8 percentage points and the open SongEval baseline (72.7%) built by Northwestern Polytechnical University, Shanghai Conservatory of Music, the University of Surrey and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. NetEase says the model, developed by its AI Music Lab, combines perception evaluation, audio-quality diagnosis and cross-modal alignment and is already used in its products; the report's framing that CloudEar is closest to human aesthetic judgement is presented as its own inference rather than an independently verified result.
