The “Research Report on AI Infrastructure Development in the Smart Era” released by the China Telecom Research Institute shows that as the focus of the development of the artificial intelligence industry shifts from competition for large models and computing power to large-scale implementation and application monetization of smart devices, China's demand for terms has exploded. Rao Shaoyang, Director of the Institute of Industry and Enterprise Strategy, China Telecom Research Institute: It is estimated that in 2026, China's annual token consumption will reach 1 billion billion, and by 2030 it will exceed 350 billion yuan, with a compound annual growth rate of nearly 12 times.
