Gate News reports that on March 29, Zhou Hongyi, the founder of 360, expressed his views on the cost issues of AI Tokens at the Global Unicorn Enterprises Conference. Zhou Hongyi stated that the core of traditional internet is traffic, and its infrastructure (such as fiber optics) has nearly unlimited capacity. User traffic usage is only proportional to duration and volume; the more users there are on the platform, the lower the marginal cost becomes. However, AI is completely different. The essence of AI operation is power consumption, information processing, and “intelligence cost,” following the logic of conservation of information and energy: the more complex the task and the deeper the demand, the higher the required power and resources. It is impossible to accomplish highly complex work with extremely low investment. Tokens are the measurement units for the intelligence and computing power consumed by artificial intelligence, with a relatively fixed unit price. The more they are used, the higher the cost becomes. Therefore, Tokens can never achieve unlimited usage like mobile data plans.
