Is there any understanding of how it's even 50b? Makes no sense to me.
My team at my company alone burned through $100k worth of tokens in September.
When it hit $20k it triggered a talk with management, but ultimately they decided it was worth because of the value the LLM was providing.
My employer is paying thousands per month for my tokens. Multiply that by a million people and there’s your $50B per year.
You might ask: how could this possibly pencil out for my employer? Answer: I’m the only person left on what used to be a team.
Nvidia’s revenue is more than that per quarter, the demand for AI workloads is through the roof.
Yeah, take your most profitable day/week/month and multiple it by 365/52/12.
It is rarely a challenge to turn $100 into $50.
