Talk

Reading the Web at Trillion-Token Scale

November 6 · 17:20-17:30 · Main stage →

Shanghai time (UTC+8) · Changes will be communicated.

How does Jina Reader turn the web into context for models? This talk follows its browser-rendering, snapshotting and cleaning pipeline, then uses real request distributions to show how a small number of very long pages can dominate token costs. It also examines the tension between anti-bot policies, anonymous API abuse and paid access as agents browse at scale, and explores alternatives such as agent-facing ads and verifiable tasks.
