NETSTARS Launches Beta Version of TokenStars, an AI Gateway for Enterprises
Extending its payment gateway expertise into AI, with a single API connecting more than 60 AI models

NETSTARS Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President and Group CEO: Tsuyoshi Ri; “NETSTARS”) today announced the launch of TokenStars, an enterprise AI gateway that enables companies to use and manage multiple generative AI and large language models (LLMs) through a unified platform. TokenStars is being launched initially as a beta version, with the official release to follow after incorporating user feedback.

TokenStars is an enterprise platform that connects companies to more than 60 leading AI models, including those from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, through a single API. The platform enables companies to centralize the use of multiple AI models, monitor usage and costs, define usage policies, and streamline contract and billing management. In addition to cloud-based AI, TokenStars will gradually support connections to local AI environments and private LLMs operated within enterprise environments. NETSTARS will initially focus on adoption among companies in Japan, with plans to expand into Southeast Asia in the future.

Extending payment gateway expertise into the AI domain
As the use of generative AI continues to expand, companies are increasingly adopting multiple AI models for different business purposes and workflows. At the same time, differences in connection methods, contract terms, and pricing structures across AI models are creating greater complexity in usage and cost management. NETSTARS has built its payment gateway business by connecting a wide range of domestic and international payment brands and services, simplifying complex connections, contracts, and operational processes for merchants and partners.

TokenStars applies this gateway technology and operational expertise to the generative AI market. By providing an efficient and secure environment for accessing AI models from around the world, NETSTARS aims to help enterprises accelerate the practical use of AI.

About TokenStars
TokenStars is an enterprise AI gateway for the integrated use and management of multiple generative AI models.
Companies can access major AI models provided by OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and other providers through a single connection method. Through the management console, users can visualize usage and costs, manage usage by user or department, and set available models and usage limits.
TokenStars also consolidates contract and billing management across multiple AI vendors and supports billing in Japanese yen. Going forward, NETSTARS will support the development of enterprise AI infrastructure through connections to local AI environments and private LLMs.
