China’s Double 11 shopping festival has a new craze: buying AI Tokens

What if you could add AI to your cart like toothpaste? This Double 11, Chinese shoppers did exactly that—buying tokens, the tiny units of text that power large language models, straight off e-commerce shelves. Alibaba Cloud, DeepSeek, Kimi and others are now selling discounted token packages at up to 30% off, and buyers are stockpiling.

The numbers are staggering: daily token usage in China topped 500 trillion by July—over 5,000 times early-2024 levels—and token sales on Tmall jumped 450% month-on-month on the first day of presale alone.

👉 Would you buy AI tokens on sale? Tell us in the comments.
