以人工智能指数闻名的初创公司 Data Inc. 表示，作为与 CME Group Inc. 持续合作的一部分，计划推出基于 AI 代币支出的产品。
Data Inc., a startup known for its artificial intelligence indexes, said it is planning to launch products based on AI token expenditures as part of an ongoing partnership with CME Group Inc.
Silicon Data 周三在新闻稿中称，新的可交易产品将基于该公司的 LLM 代币指数，该指数按使用量加权追踪各类 AI 模型的代币价格。代币是 ChatGPT 和 Claude 等模型使用的数据单位，交易员常将其作为衡量客户使用该技术成本的指标。
The new tradable products will be based on the company’s LLM token indexes, which track token prices across various AI models weighted by usage, Silicon Data said in a press release on Wednesday. Tokens are units of data used by models like ChatGPT and Claude, often tracked by traders as a gauge of what customers are paying to use the technology.
此次扩展继两家公司 8 月宣布计划推出基于 GPU 租赁成本的期货之后。
The expansion follows plans announced by the two firms in August to launch futures based on the cost of renting GPUs.
Silicon Data 是押注于这一新型衍生品类别的多家公司之一，该类别衍生品将使企业能够对冲和追踪 AI 使用成本。多家做市商已组建团队交易这些新型合约 —— 与此同时，这个新兴行业正等待商品期货交易委员会（CFTC）的批准。
Silicon Data is among several companies betting on a new category of derivatives that will enable businesses to hedge and track the cost of using AI. A number of market makers have assembled teams to trade these novel contracts — all while the nascent industry awaits approval by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
Silicon Data 首席执行官 Carmen Li 周三在接受彭博电视采访时表示：“人们对 GPU 算力行业的投入端运作有很好的理解。有趣的是，作为一个社会，我们对 AI 经济的另一个组成部分 —— 消费层 —— 缺乏了解。” 她称，这些产品计划在未来几个月推出，但需待监管批准。
“People have really good understanding of how the input of the GPU compute industry works,” Carmen Li, chief executive officer of Silicon Data, said in an interview on Bloomberg Television on Wednesday. “What’s interesting is, as a society, we lack understanding of the other component of AI economy, which is the consumption layer.”The products are planned for release in the coming months, Li said, pending regulatory approval.
在夏季下滑后，Silicon Data LLM 代币支出指数徘徊在自 12 月开始发布以来的最低水平附近。由于该指数衡量的是每百万代币的价格，Li 表示，这可能反映出用户正从高端模型转向更便宜的替代方案。
After sliding over summer, the Silicon Data LLM Token Expenditure Index has hovered near the lowest since it started publishing in December. Since it measures the price per million tokens, that could reflect users shifting from premium models to cheaper alternatives, Li said.
