Why It Matters

双十一期间,各大电商平台直播间热闹,AI软件会员月卡成为抢手货。中国信通院数据显示,2026年6月国内词元日均消耗量约500万亿,是2025年12月的近4倍。9月初,多家AI公司已将套餐挂到电商平台充值中心。

“双十一”临近,各大电商平台的直播间又热闹了起来。

今年“双十一”,你有没有买点啥?

和前些年一样,有人买家具,有人囤化妆品,但今年有些不同的是,有直播间的评论区里刷出“3、2、1,上Token”,AI软件的会员月卡成了直播间里的抢手货。

开卖半小时左右,有直播间便卖出10万份会员月卡,累计约2万亿Token。

Token是啥?为何能被当成商品来卖?

Token,也就是词元,在直播间里,AI软件的相关负责人用了一个形象的比喻:“就像我们开车需要加油,我们日常的电器需要用电一样,AI工作的燃料是Token。”

说到这,想必大家也都理解了为何Token能卖钱,因为如果没有Token,我们的AI软件就都会歇菜。

这两年,AI发展速度之快,超乎很多人想象,这一点,从Token的消耗量上就能看出端倪——中国信通院数据显示,2026年6月国内词元日均消耗量约500万亿,是2025年12月的近4倍。

所以,Token出现在直播间里出售,也是早晚的事情。其实,9月初的时候,就有好几家AI公司把套餐挂到电商平台的充值中心了,有几块钱的日包,也有上千块的年套餐。

大家为何愿意为Token买单?

很重要的一个原因,AI在中国的普及速度很快,从学生到长者,“遇事不决问AI”成了新的潮流,对于广大的上班族来说,AI更是成了贴身的好帮手。

随着AI覆盖面的扩大,Token消耗量越来越大,不少AI软件已经出现了免费的大模型需要排队的情况,如果没有付费,等待时间就要变长。而当AI真正能为大家解决实际问题的时候,大家也就乐意为Token付费。

所以,在直播间里下单Token的人,大概有两类:一类是已经用上相关软件的人,在直播间里下单,图的是优惠和方便;还有一类人,还没有用过这款软件,但也想试一试,而且价格不贵,不妨就先囤上了。

对厂商来说,仅仅靠链接里的单个商品,其实赚不了钱,但厂商愿意让Token走进直播间,图的是让大家先把使用习惯培养起来,这跟当年打车软件发红包是一个逻辑。

Token进直播间,其实也是一个标志:大模型不再只活在发布会、API文档和企业采购单里,而是被搬上货架,直接卖给大众。

所以,问题给到各位看官了:直播间里的Token,你会买吗?

Hackers invade French blood bank! Refrigerator soared to 110 degrees, employees rushed to save plasma

Three plasma cold storage facilities owned by the French Blood Agency (EFS) were hacked and the temperature was raised to 110 degrees Celsius. Fortunately, the interception was timely and no damage was caused. Previously, hundreds of supermarket refrigeration systems in many European countries have been attacked by similar attacks, causing losses of millions of euros. A pro-Russian hacker group claimed to have committed the crime but was questioned, and Iranian state-level hackers were also named as suspects. The French National Cyber ​​Security Agency and the Ministry of Health are jointly investigating.

Autumn recruitment interview AI attack and defense battle, who is the winner?

In the autumn recruitment of 2026 graduates, AI interviewers started an offensive and defensive battle with job seekers who used AI to answer questions. Data shows that 74% of job seekers admitted to using generative AI, 91% of recruiters found deceptive answers, and 70% of recruiters trusted AI recruitment decisions, but only 8% of job seekers recognized the fairness of AI interviewers. Although AI interviews can conduct preliminary screening in batches and reduce costs, they face problems such as algorithm bias, privacy leaks, and escalating technical confrontations. Trust between both parties continues to lose, and there is no real winner.

Be careful of AI "flattery"! 60.4% of the respondents suggested that important decisions should be made in real life by consulting different people.

A survey of 1,334 respondents by the China Youth Daily Social Survey Center United Questionnaire Network showed that 60.4% recommended asking the opinions of different people in real life for important decisions, and 45.4% reminded themselves that AI approval does not equal facts. Respondents shared the tendency of AI to cater to scenarios such as medical care and creation, and put forward more than 30 suggestions for countermeasures such as cross-validation and requiring evidence.
