Rafay Systems, a leader in infrastructure orchestration for AI and cloud-native workloads, announced the general availability of Token Factory, a suite of capabilities in the Rafay Platform that deliver token-based access to AI models and services. Token-based access to models and other AI services has quickly become a foundational requirement in the AI industry and is what sets apart AI factory operators from commodity GPU providers.
Rafay’s Token Factory gives AI factory operators and neoclouds the metering, pricing and access-control capabilities needed to monetize token-based access to AI models running on accelerated computing infrastructure. With Token Factory, AI factory operators can immediately deliver token-metered access to AI models as a service through developer-friendly consumption workflows without needing to build the orchestration and monetization stack from scratch.
This general availability announcement arrives as AI consumption is undergoing a fundamental shift. Enterprises and developers are increasingly accessing AI models through agentic frameworks like OpenClaw, the open-source AI agent platform that executes multi-step workflows, calls external tools, and runs continuously to complete real tasks. NVIDIA’s NemoClaw extends that model with policy-based privacy and security guardrails for production and enterprise deployments. Each agentic task consumes significantly more tokens than a conventional AI interaction, driving sustained and growing demand. Today, most of that token spend flows to hyperscalers and foundation model companies. Token Factory enables infrastructure operators to serve that demand in their regions, on their own terms and at attractive prices, turning GPU capacity into a token-based revenue stream.

Transforming GPU providers into AI factories
Token Factory changes the competitive equation for neoclouds and sovereign AI clouds. Rather than competing solely on GPU availability and hourly pricing, operators can immediately begin to monetize AI model consumption with a suite of governance, access control and quota management capabilities, all with a consumption model their users already understand. Token Factory becomes the controlled delivery plane for AI models, while frameworks such as OpenClaw and NemoClaw become the token-hungry “applications” that drive consumption.
“Token Factories are the new cellphone companies,” said Haseeb Budhani, CEO and co-founder of Rafay Systems. “Similar to how cellphone companies used to sell pre- and post-paid minute plans, AI factories are beginning to sell pre- and post-paid token plans. Team Rafay is looking forward to supporting the success of a thousand AI factories across the world with our Token Factory offering.”
