Gate News reports that on March 24, People’s Daily in the article “Talking about Morphemes (New Knowledge)” introduced that “morpheme” is the Chinese translation of the Token concept in the AI field. It is the smallest unit of information processed by large models and has the characteristics of being measurable, tradable, and priced in the era of intelligence.
Currently, a new value system centered around the invocation, distribution, and settlement of morphemes is accelerating its development and becoming an important pathway for the commercialization of the artificial intelligence industry. China’s daily morpheme invocation volume has exceeded 140 trillion. This data indicates that, as the reform of data element marketization deepens, a high-quality data supply system for AI is taking shape, and a virtuous cycle of “data supply—value release” is beginning to emerge.
