KT is launching 'Token Factory' on October 30, a platform that integrates over 500 domestic and international AI models, letting users select models and manage usage and costs in one place. Yonhap reports the service bills based on token usage, with features like prompt compression and model routing that can cut token costs by up to 25%. The corporate service launches first, with expansion to individual users planned for March next year. Korean media highlight this as the first commercialization of a 'token economy' among telecom firms, with KT's Park Sang-won presenting the strategy at a press briefing on October 27. Chosun Ilbo notes the competition is shifting from model performance to cost management, and Maeil Business reports the platform avoids answering questions containing personal information.
