KT is launching 'Token Factory' on October 30, an AI platform that integrates over 500 domestic and international AI models, allowing users to select models based on task and cost, with usage billed per token. The platform, announced at a press conference on October 27, aims to cut token costs by up to 25% through prompt compression and model routing, with consumer services expanding in March next year. Yonhap reports this as KT's move into the 'token economy,' a next-generation revenue model for telecoms, while Chosun Ilbo notes competition is shifting from model performance to cost management. Park Sang-won, KT's AX business head, introduced the strategy at the event, and Maeil Business reports the service targets enterprise customers initially.
