Is Token Consumption Growth Slowing Down?
Philip Schmid dropped an astounding figure1 yesterday about Google’s AI scale : 1,300 trillion tokens per month (1.3 quadrillion - first time I’ve ever used that unit!).
Now that we have three data points on Google’s token processing, we can chart the progress.
In May, Google announced at I/O2 they were processing 480 trillion monthly tokens across their surfaces. Two months later in July, they announced3 that number had doubled to 980 trillion. Now, it’s up to 1300 trillion.
