Ask what Korea is talking about.

KT is launching 'Token Factory' on October 30, an AI platform that connects over 500 domestic and international AI models, letting companies pick models and manage usage and costs in one place. It bills based on token usage, like a telecom bill, and claims to cut token costs by up to 25% through prompt compression and model routing. The service targets businesses first, with personal users to follow in March 2027. KT says brokerage fees aren't the main model; it will run models on its own GPUs to produce tokens for revenue. Korean media highlight this as the first 'token economy' monetization among the three telecoms, with Yonhap and Chosun Ilbo noting the shift from model performance to cost management.
