Aolani, a Singapore-founded neocloud, has announced the launch of the Aolani Token Factory, a managed inference platform that allows organizations to deploy and scale AI models on a pay-per-token basis without managing GPU infrastructure. This makes Aolani the first Singapore-founded neocloud to offer production-grade, managed inference at scale, according to the company's announcement on August 28, 2026.
The platform addresses the growing demand for production-grade inference infrastructure as AI companies expand in Singapore and businesses worldwide invest in AI for tangible outcomes. The Token Factory aims to close the accessibility gap by providing a highly compliant and high-performance path from experimentation to production-scale deployment.
With per-token metering, customers can pre-purchase credits and pay based on token consumption, avoiding capital-intensive GPU investments. Aolani manages the entire inference stack, including GPU capacity allocation, model serving, orchestration, scheduling, and workload optimization, enabling customers to scale without continuously provisioning additional infrastructure.
At launch, the platform supports leading open-source models such as DeepSeek, GLM, Kimi, and Qwen, with plans to expand the catalog based on customer demand. Customers can also deploy their own models through OpenAI-compatible APIs, and enterprise clients can opt for dedicated capacity and data isolation to meet strict compliance and data residency requirements.
The Token Factory is designed for three core production use cases: AI agents for high-volume inference and workflow automation, enterprise AI applications like internal copilots and knowledge assistants, and coding agents for code generation and review. Sea Xu, Applied AI Research Lead at Aolani, emphasized the platform's high-performance stack and fast model adaptation, stating, "As Southeast Asia's AI ecosystem evolves and grows rapidly, it is our goal to ensure that the infrastructure serving it keeps pace."
Nicholas Chia, CEO of Aolani, highlighted the strategic importance: "Fast-moving AI natives want to build and ship products flexibly and on-demand, without the need to manage GPU fleets. With our competitive per-token pricing and a fully managed stack, companies can go from model selection to production deployment without the capital outlay or operational complexity of self-managed infrastructure."
This launch is significant for the AI industry as it lowers barriers to entry for AI adoption, particularly for startups and enterprises in Asia that may lack the resources for large-scale GPU infrastructure. By shifting to a pay-per-token model, Aolani enables more organizations to leverage advanced AI models, fostering innovation and competition in the region. The move also signals a trend toward more flexible and accessible AI infrastructure, potentially influencing how other cloud providers structure their offerings.
Interested parties can register interest at Aolani Token Factory. Aolani is headquartered in Singapore and founded in 2023, backed by compliant infrastructure to support AI development in Asia.
