AI industry pivots to token economics, focusing on inference computing centers

The AI industry is shifting its focus from model parameters to computational efficiency, with "token economics" emerging as a new value unit. This transition is driving demand for "token factories" – intelligent computing centers optimized for inference, which is projected to consume significantly more power than training. Beijing Yingbo Digital Technology Co., Ltd. positions itself as a full-stack builder of these token factories, offering integrated solutions from planning to delivery and flexible billing models. AI

IMPACT Highlights the shift towards inference optimization and the rise of token economics, impacting infrastructure providers and AI service pricing.
