Sam Altman just drew the entire scaling curve for AI compute in one paragraph. VCs pay analysts six figures to build charts less clear than this Six and a half years ago, the world's top token user was one OpenAI employee running 100,000 tokens a month. The worldwide per-capita average was zero. Nobody outside a lab had ever touched an LLM. Today the worldwide per-capita average is 100,000 tokens a month. The leader at OpenAI runs hundreds of billions. That's a million-fold jump at the top and a hundred-thousand-fold jump for everyone else. In 6.5 years. Altman's forecast for the next 6.5: the average person hits 500 billion tokens a month, the token leader lands somewhere in the quadrillions. "That will just become the expectation." The forecasts every enterprise IT team is using right now assume flat or 10x growth. Altman is publicly telling them to plan for a million times. Screenshot this before your CTO's next AI budget review. The math on his slides won't match the math Altman just put on stage.
