AI tokens are the fundamental units of data, such as characters, syllables, or sub-words, processed by artificial intelligence and large language models during training and inference. They serve as the basic building blocks that models use to read, represent, and generate natural language or code. In a separate context, the term also refers to artificial intelligence-themed cryptocurrencies used to power decentralized AI networks and protocols.
