Analyst Beth Kindig shared projections for monthly AI token processing. The current run rate is estimated at 11 quadrillion, already double Goldman Sachs' previous forecast of 5.6 quadrillion.
Furthermore, token processing is projected to surge from 1.7 quadrillion in mid-2025 to 47 quadrillion in 2028, eventually hitting 120 quadrillion by mid-2030. This implies a massive 70x+ growth in AI compute demand over the next five years.
