# 🌐 Tokenized AI ### **What is the Token-Based AI ?** **Token-Based AI** is a model where access to artificial intelligence services is priced and consumed using **tokens as units of computation and payment**. Instead of paying fixed subscriptions, users pay based on **actual AI usage**—measured in tokens. ### A **token** is a small unit of data processed by an AI model. Depending on the model, a token can be: * A word * Part of a word * A character sequence 👉 Example:\ The sentence *“AI is powerful”* might be split into several tokens, and you are charged based on how many tokens are processed (input + output).**That starts with standardized addressing.** We’re building the core addressing layer for the 3D immersive internet (Spatial Web), so immersive experiences can be created, discovered, and accessed as easily as traditional websites, without modifying the original websites or their backend systems. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
