According to 1M AI News, at the Global Unicorn Enterprises Conference, 360 founder Zhou Hongyi interpreted the recent craze for “Lobster Heat” (OpenClaw). Regarding when tokens can be as accessible and affordable to ordinary people as mobile data, Zhou Hongyi stated: The core of the traditional internet is traffic, and its infrastructure (such as fiber optics) has nearly unlimited capacity; users’ consumption of traffic is only proportional to duration and volume. The more platform users there are, the lower the marginal cost becomes. But AI is completely different. The essence of AI operation is the consumption of computing power, information processing, and “intellectual cost,” following the logic of conservation of information and energy: the more complex the task and deeper the demand, the higher the consumption of computing power and resources must be. It is impossible to complete highly complex work with minimal investment. Tokens are the unit of measurement for the intellectual and computing power consumed by artificial intelligence, with a relatively fixed unit price; the more tokens used, the higher the cost. Therefore, tokens can never be used in an unlimited monthly plan like mobile data.
