[Ke Ruiwen of China Telecom: The essence of token operations is to provide AI services to users] At the 9th Digital China Summit • Intelligent Cloud Ecosystem Conference, China Telecom Chairman Ke Ruiwen stated that the newly released DeepseekV4 and a series of large models have significantly reduced token consumption during inference. Meanwhile, the performance of domestic computing power and the scheduling capabilities of computing resources continue to improve, further reducing the production cost of tokens. 'We believe that only by packaging tokens into high-quality AI product services that users can perceive can the true value potential of tokens be realized. The essence of token operations is to provide AI services to users,' Ke Ruiwen emphasized. It is reported that China Telecom will accelerate the construction of a nationwide integrated computing power network, proactively advance the development of next-generation elastic AIDC, and achieve interconnected computing power scheduling through the 'Xirang' platform. This will establish large-scale token production capabilities characterized by high concurrency, high throughput, and high computational efficiency, as well as token transmission and scheduling capabilities that are efficient, low-loss, and low-latency.
