China's Domestic AI Compute Is Entering the Token Standardization Era
量子位 QbitAI40 days agoBusinessChina's domestic AI computing sector is undergoing a structural shift, adopting Token throughput as its standard measurement and pricing unit — mirroring the model established by global API providers. This standardization signals a maturation of the Chinese AI supply chain, moving away from raw hardware metrics toward output-centric benchmarks. The transition has implications for how domestic chip vendors, cloud platforms, and AI service providers compete and interoperate.
CATL Bets on Standardization With One Shell for Two Battery Chemistries
INSIDE 硬塞 AI47 days agoHardwareCATL has announced a “one shell, two cells” architecture that fits both sodium-ion and lithium-ion cells into a standardized casing. The goal is to reduce the infrastructure integration costs that usually come with supporting different battery chemistries. The design could help sodium-ion batteries enter battery-swapping and energy-storage markets faster, with delivery expected to begin in 2026.
