iQiyi Inc.'s stock experienced a significant surge of 5.75% during pre-market trading on Monday.

The sharp increase appears to be driven by the company's announcement of its entry into the AI-powered content creation space. iQiyi has officially opened its professional AI agent platform, "Nadou Pro," to the public, marking its pre-commercial phase. The platform is specifically designed for long-form film and television production, supporting an end-to-end creation process and integrating several major AI models. This move is seen as a strategic step to redefine film and television creation and potentially open new business avenues for the company.
