Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) Chengdu branch has disbursed a
loan to a high‑tech company in Chengdu High‑tech Zone that uses a token
compute‑usage invoice as the primary credit metric instead of conventional
real‑estate or equipment collateral. The deal, the first 'Token compute'
scenario loan in Sichuan, was recently executed; tokens are the smallest unit of
large‑model processing and measure AI compute consumption for prompts,
generation and model runs.
