ByteDance AI Watch posted an update
DigiTimes reports that more than half of China’s AI token usage goes to short dramas and video generation. ByteDance’s Doubao disputes the picture, saying video-generation models account for about 10% of overall computing resources.
Why it mattersThose figures measure different things: token usage is not the same as compute consumption. That distinction matters when judging which AI services are using the hardware, and whether all those generated clips are paying their way. The figures come from DigiTimes’ report, and the supplied excerpt does not explain how either estimate was calculated.
Discuss: Is token volume a useful measure of AI’s resource costs, or should compute use be the benchmark?
