During the National Day holiday, watching short dramas and animated series became a popular leisure activity for many people. While you swipe through your screen and follow new episodes, you are also taking part in a "new consumption" of the AI era 鈥?every plot generation, AI voiceover, and subtitle polishing consumes Tokens behind the scenes. As one of the 50 national production partners for Hongguo short dramas, Jiaxing Huanman Technology Co., Ltd., located in Luoxing Street, Jiashan County, is truly a "major Token consumer." Throughout this National Day holiday, the company continued production through large models, with Token consumption never stopping.
Many people may be hearing the word "Token" for the first time. In fact, a Token is the basic unit of measurement for how AI large models process and generate content 鈥?essentially AI's "word particle" and "meter." Watching short dramas and animated series, listening to AI voiceovers, and using AI to write all consume Tokens behind the scenes. The cheaper the Tokens and the more accessible the computing power, the lower the cost of AI content and applications. Ordinary people can then enjoy richer and more convenient AI services, which can also drive entrepreneurship, employment, and new business forms.
According to reports, Jiaxing Huanman Technology Co., Ltd. consumes Tokens at a scale of tens of millions annually, mainly for writing scripts, generating image prompts, polishing subtitles, drafting voiceover copy, and writing storyboard descriptions. Every production step relies on large model calls. In July of this year, Yangtze River Delta (Jiashan) Big Data Investment Co., Ltd., under the Jiashan County State-owned Investment Group, launched a brand-new AI industry service platform 鈥?the Yangtze River Delta (Jiashan) AI Industry Service Platform. It integrates and gathers high-quality computing power and mainstream large model resources, using "Token consumption" as the entry point to empower the development of diverse sectors such as short dramas and animated series, AI research and development, and intelligent manufacturing, injecting new momentum into county-level economic development.
Jiaxing Huanman Technology Co., Ltd. was one of the first companies to reach a "purchase" intention with Yangtze River Delta (Jiashan) Big Data Investment Co., Ltd. "As a production company for Hongguo animated dramas, we consume a large amount of Tokens. Relying on Jiashan's unified computing power platform, enterprises can access various models in a one-stop manner, procurement prices have clear advantages, and we can directly enjoy official computing power subsidies, truly reducing the production cost of AI animated dramas and providing great convenience for our large-scale production," said Han Beibei, administrative supervisor of Jiaxing Huanman Technology Co., Ltd.
The Yangtze River Delta (Jiashan) AI Industry Service Platform adopts a centralized procurement and sales model, gathering more than 160 mainstream large models and computing power resources on the market. Not only are Token prices low, but enterprises can also directly enjoy various computing power voucher subsidy policies introduced by Jiashan County, providing strong support for enterprises to access and afford computing power. "As the county's computing power subsidy application channel, all types of enterprises can directly complete subsidy deductions on the platform and enjoy convenient policy fulfillment services," introduced Yao Miao, deputy manager of Yangtze River Delta (Jiashan) Big Data Investment Co., Ltd. From the demand side, the current scale of computing power and Token demand across the county through the platform has reached about 50 million yuan per year, mainly serving fields such as short dramas and animated series, AI research and development, and intelligent manufacturing. At present, cooperation intentions have been reached with 5 enterprises, and about 10 more are under discussion.
In addition, Jiashan County's inclusive supply of computing power and Tokens, along with strong policy dividends, has also created unique conditions for attracting and gathering OPC entrepreneurs. "As an OPC community operator, having a unified computing power platform supplying Tokens and computing power, and strong computing power subsidy policies, is very favorable for us in attracting OPC entrepreneurs," said Zhang Xiao, head of OPC operations at Jiashan Financial Center. The OPC community also adds supporting services such as office space, business registration, and policy applications, reducing burdens and loosening restrictions for entrepreneurial teams. "Gathering entrepreneurial teams together also attracts more upstream and downstream projects to land and cluster, helping resident teams better integrate into Jiashan's collaborative development industrial circle."
Next, Jiashan County will continue to deepen the construction of the AI industry service platform, further connecting computing power supply with enterprises' real application needs, amplifying the industrial driving effect of Token consumption, and continuously attracting OPC entrepreneurial teams, AI content enterprises, and intelligent manufacturing entities to gather. It will promote computing power resources moving from machine rooms to production workshops and creative studios, using computing power empowerment to spawn more new AI scenarios and new business forms, and strive to build a new benchmark for county-level artificial intelligence industry development.
