Central Radio Finance: Future 'Token Package' may become a standard feature in the AI era According to a report by Golden Finance on May 20th, China National Radio Finance and Economics stated that recently, China Telecom, China Mobile, and China Unicom have successively launched "Token packages" for individual and household users, which for the first time clearly price and sell the computing power of AI models in a form similar to "traffic packages". According to information released by the three major telecom operators, Token package tariffs have covered multiple levels from general user experience to high-frequency professional use. Among them, China Telecom has launched three packages for individual and family customers: 9.9 yuan/month with 10 million tokens, 29.9 yuan/month with 40 million tokens, and 49.9 yuan/month with 80 million tokens; For developers and small and medium-sized enterprises, there are additional tiers ranging from 39.9 yuan to 299.9 yuan. So, do ordinary people need to purchase Token packages? The relevant person in charge of China Telecom introduced that the application scenarios of Token packages go far beyond simple chatting. After purchasing, users can complete tasks such as AI copywriting, short video production, tutoring children's homework, helping the elderly seek medical advice, and assisting with programming. The bottom layer of the package integrates the telecom star model, DeepSeek V3.2, SmartSpectrum and other ecological models. Users can use it across platforms at one time without switching between multiple Internet applications. ”The person in charge told reporters. 20 years ago, 'SMS package' became standard, and 10 years ago, 'data package' became standard. Today, we use AI to write articles, create images, generate videos, and write code, all of which consume tokens. ”The above-mentioned person in charge of China Telecom judged that as AI gradually integrates into office and daily life, Token will also become a standard feature in mobile phone packages. Ma Jihua, a senior analyst in the communications industry, said that the "Token package" launched by operators is essentially a strategic leap from "selling connections/traffic" to "selling computing power/intelligence", transforming computing power resources into quantifiable and tradable commodities, opening up the second growth curve in the AI era. Unlike the previous era, the transformation of telecom operators from pipeline services to capability services, once successful, has historical significance
