Double 11: Tokens to be sold on multiple e-commerce platforms in China

This year's Double 11, a major online shopping event in China, will feature the sale of tokens, which represent a unit of computational power for artificial intelligence, as a separate item on e-commerce platforms such as Tmall. Companies like DeepSeek, Alibaba Cloud, Zhipu, and Kimi have participated in the Token Charging Center on Tmall, which was opened on September 3.

The sale of tokens marks a new development in the field of AI, where computational power is being commodified and made available for purchase, potentially changing the way businesses and individuals access and utilize AI capabilities. This development could have significant implications for social commerce, particularly in the context of e-commerce platforms and online shopping events.
