Chinese operators launch AI token plans for mobile
China's largest mobile operators have announced the launch of new 'token plans' for access to large language and multimodal models directly through the mobile bill. For a few yuan, businesses receive millions of tokens for text generation, document analysis, and image processing through standard APIs. This step effectively turns mobile infrastructure into a mass distributed AI platform. For the Kazakhstan and Central Asia market, this is a signal: the integration of AI plans into mobile services can become a key competitive advantage in the next 12–18 months.
