CAICT's new LLM token service monitoring report shows China's daily token consumption hit 500 trillion in June, nearly 4x December 2025, with average prices doubling from ¥6.8 to ¥13.46 (overseas: ¥117.8). Domestic TPS doubled to 78.23/s but still trails 112.82/s abroad; 1M-context models now 47.8% of offerings. DeepSeek alone serves 155T tokens daily off a 5MW cluster, and newer models like GLM 5.3 Flash aren't even counted yet.
