At the Yabuli Forum, Kunlun Core CEO Ouyang Jian stated that the acceptance of large models has significantly increased over the past year, and programmers must use large models to avoid being eliminated. He emphasized that tokens will become a key requirement in the AI era, with demand reaching trillions in scale, necessitating a substantial reduction in costs to promote new business models.

At the Yabuli Forum on the 17th, Kunlun Xin CEO Ouyang Jian said that a year ago, people still had doubts about large models. Today, programmers who don’t use large models to write code will certainly be eliminated; everyone is “fattening a lobster,” and it already shows that applications are set to surge. “‘Token’ will be the water, electricity, and gas of the AI era—the ‘new essential demand’ for production and daily life.” He said that the demand for tokens has already reached the level of tens of quadrillions, and growth is still accelerating, but broad accessibility should be a basic attribute. Major model companies are also looking for ways to reduce token costs, which need to fall by at least 10x in speed; new business models will emerge. (China First Finance)
