Sichuan's first Token factory goes online in Yaan
Sichuan’s first Token factory was put into operation in Ya'an. The “Tianjiang·Baize Token Factory,” jointly built by Shutian Data Group and Tianfu Jiangxi Laboratory, officially began production in Ya'an Economic Development Zone recently. This factory compares various large-model computing resources to “crude oil” and, through specialization, deep adaptation, and precise scheduling, converts general computing power into “ refined oil” that can be used specifically for models, achieving a value leap from basic computing power to usable model power. Since its launch at the end of August, the first batch of customers include content creation, media dissemination, and business sales companies in Shanghai, Chengdu, and other places. The core service target is a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises and startup teams. Compared with large enterprises that build their own or rent computing infrastructure, such entities find it difficult to afford high costs associated with computing power. The Token factory precisely addresses this critical gap in industrial supply and demand. Sichuan’s first Token factory being put into operation in Ya'an is a strategic move by Ya'an to create a new model for the “East Data, West Computing” project, based on its own development realities. Amid the nationwide trend of large-model research and competition in chip production, Ya'an has not followed the trend blindly but has focused on the key area of computing power conversion and value addition...
