KT unveils AI platform Token Factory, eyes new growth business

KT, a major telecom company, unveiled its new AI platform, Token Factory, on Tuesday. The platform aims to create a new revenue stream for the company by helping businesses manage AI costs. Token Factory will be available starting Friday and will provide access to 73 AI models through a single platform. These models can be hosted on KT's domestic infrastructure or provided by global providers.

The platform will expand to include over 500 models in November, following a partnership with OpenRouter, a global AI model marketplace. By offering AI model selection, usage management, and billing functionality in one service, Token Factory allows businesses to access multiple models through a single API. This eliminates the need for businesses to sign up for and connect to each model separately.

Park Sang-won, executive vice president of KT's AX Business Division, emphasized during a press conference that competition in AI is shifting from developing better models to finding effective ways to utilize AI.
