South Korean telecom operator KT is set to launch "Token Factory" on July 30, a platform that brings together 500 AI models in a single service, allowing users to access and compare a wide range of AI models through one gateway.
Token Factory is designed as a hub where customers can use approximately 500 AI models, spanning large language models (LLM) and other AI offerings. Rather than building each model from scratch, the platform positions KT as an intermediary that supplies AI computing resources — measured in tokens — to businesses and developers.
The move reflects KT's strategy of expanding its AI business beyond telecommunications, positioning itself as a provider of AI infrastructure and model access in the domestic market.
By aggregating 500 models in one place, Token Factory aims to lower the barrier for companies seeking to adopt AI, letting them test and deploy multiple models without separate contracts with individual AI providers. KT is expected to position the service as a key pillar of its AI revenue push, though details on pricing and the full list of included models remain subject to the company's official launch materials.
The July 30 launch was announced in advance by KT, and the claim that the platform would aggregate 500 AI models under a single service is True.
