On June 3, Chinese digital publishing giant ChineseAll disclosed critical market data during an institutional briefing, revealing that AI micro-dramas and video generation have officially crowned themselves as the leading scenarios for Token consumption in China.
According to the company, AI micro-dramas and video generation command a staggering 55% share of domestic Token consumption. E-commerce and digital marketing (such as livestream e-commerce and ad marketing) rank second at 24%. Surprisingly, software development—which was highly anticipated due to the rise of "Vibe Coding" and advanced LLMs like Anthropic's Claude—only accounts for 15% of the total. The Token usage of AI micro-dramas and video generation is now over twice that of software development, establishing them as the absolute core of the Tokenomics landscape.
[AgentUpdate Depth Analysis] This shift highlights a major transition in the GenAI and AI Agent ecosystem. While text-based productivity tools and coding assistants have dominated developer mindshare, the massive volume of tokens consumed by video-generation agents proves that multimodal sensory content is currently the primary driver of commercial LLM/LMM utilization. Generating coherent, frame-by-frame video and maintaining character consistency require exponential Token throughput compared to structured code compilation. For Agent developers, this underscores that the near-term monetization engine of the Agent ecosystem lies heavily in consumer entertainment rather than enterprise workflows. Forward-looking platforms must optimize their orchestration frameworks to handle high-concurrency multimodal streaming and aggressively manage API costs for video agents.
