Sam Altman says the heaviest AI user on the planet six and a half years ago used what the average person on Earth uses today: "Six and a half years ago, the world token leader was an OpenAI employee using about 100,000 tokens a month." "And this seemed ludicrous at the time. The worldwide average per capita is like zero." "Now, the worldwide average of tokens per month, which I think tokens are the dumbest metric, but it's what we have. It's like 100,000." "And the token leader at OpenAI uses something in the hundreds of billions." "If that happens again, which I think it probably will, then in another six and a half years, the average person uses, let's say, 500 billion tokens a month." If he is right, the average person's AI usage grows five million times over the next six and a half years, and OpenAI is already building the capacity for it. That is the number enterprise boards should be planning against this year. Demand at that scale changes what a reasonable AI budget looks like. - Sam Altman (@sama), CEO of OpenAI, with Garry Tan (@garrytan) at Y Combinator (@ycombinator) Startup School 2026.
