A "token factory" — Fujian's first cross-region, heterogeneous-scheduling, full-service AI platform, branded Mindu Ruici — went live on November 3 in Minqing County, Fuzhou, Fuzhou Daily reported. Tokens are the metering unit of large-model services; the platform produces and sells them like standardized goods, with transparent pricing, metered billing and online settlement.
The platform aggregates 14 mainstream domestic models including DeepSeek, Kimi and Volcano Engine, and supports multiple domestic chip stacks, positioning itself as "multi-model, multi-chip, multi-region, full-factor." Minqing's county investment company calls it an "AI supermarket" plus a "compute grid": compute vouchers, a scheduling platform, a token store and compute-backed loans in one place.
Cross-region scheduling forms the foundation. The Minjiang River basin heterogeneous compute scheduling platform links four clusters — Pingtan (Fujian), Suzhou (Anhui), Zhongwei (Ningxia) and Xining (Qinghai) — into one network with unified monitoring, operations and intelligent dispatch: idle capacity is released in troughs and elastically expanded at peaks, sparing redundant data-center builds for short-lived demand.
Local industry is closing the loop. Fujian's first domestic high-performance compute server line, Mindu, is in production in Minqing across assembly, testing, tuning, sales and operations, with expected annual output above 2 billion yuan; data-labeling and AIGC media firms are clustering locally. The county frames its offering as a five-factor stack — compute, data, tokens, finance and energy — converting green power efficiently into tokens.
Finance lowers the entry bar. Minqing plans to issue 10 million yuan in compute vouchers this year, with fully online claiming, review, deduction and settlement; firms can obtain compute- or token-backed credit and pay after use — aimed at SMEs facing high entry costs and cash-flow pressure.
Turning tokens into a priced, settled commodity signals compute services shifting from resource leasing to service distribution. Whether a county can run the full chain of cross-region scheduling, token pricing and financial support is a sample worth watching.
