TechFlow News, March 29: At the Global Unicorn Enterprise Conference, Zhou Hongyi, founder of 360, interpreted the recent viral “Lobster Craze” (the OpenClaw agent). Regarding the question of when tokens can become as universally accessible and affordable for ordinary users as mobile data plans, Zhou stated: The core of traditional internet lies in traffic—its infrastructure (e.g., fiber optics) has near-infinite capacity, and user consumption scales linearly with usage duration and volume. Moreover, platform marginal costs decrease as user numbers increase. AI, however, is fundamentally different. AI operation inherently consumes computing power, processes information, and incurs “intellectual cost,” adhering to principles of information and energy conservation: more complex or deeper tasks inevitably demand greater computing resources and energy. Extremely low input cannot deliver extremely high-complexity output. Tokens serve as the unit of measurement for AI’s consumption of intelligence and computing power; their unit price remains relatively fixed, meaning higher usage translates directly into higher costs. Consequently, tokens can never achieve unlimited, flat-rate monthly subscription models like mobile data. (Jin10)
