AI Industry Shifts Toward Tokenomics Competition

The AI industry is shifting its economic focus toward tokenomics, with cost per token emerging as the primary metric for global competition. Tokens — the smallest units processed by LLMs — are billed as input and output tokens by providers such as OpenAI, Google and DeepSeek; China reportedly offers lower per-token pricing, making its models attractive for high-volume AI agents. This affects pricing and model selection strategies.
