Shanghai Telecom's this move of 1 yuan for 250k tokens is like paying 10 yuan for AI to finish 100 e-books. Local operators are finally not just selling broadband anymore.

Shanghai Telecom announced that it will roll out Token computing power services for Shanghai users, becoming the first operator in Shanghai to publish Token computing power rate plans. The service offers two billing methods: per-unit ordering and on-demand discounts. 1 yuan corresponds to a quota of 250,000 points, and it supports payment via mobile phone bill statements. After purchase, users can call over 30 mainstream large models through a standard API, covering both text and multimodal applications. For example, with a purchase of 10 yuan for a quota of 2,500,000 points, it can support automatic summarization of approximately 100 electronic books of 100,000 words each.
