- Approximate monthly API calls derived from Sam Altman's October 2025 disclosure of 6B tokens per minute on the API, up 20x over two years. At 6B tokens/min and ~1,000 tokens per call average, this implies roughly 8.6T tokens/day processed.

NoteThe source confirms the key input metric (6B tokens/minute as of October 2025) that the claim uses to derive the 260B monthly API calls figure. However, the source does NOT directly state the 260B monthly API calls figure itself. The claim performs a calculation: 6B tokens/min ÷ ~1,000 tokens/call = ~6M calls/min, which extrapolates to ~260B calls/month. While the source provides the foundational data point (6B tokens/min), it does not verify the derived calculation or the final 260B API calls figure. The calculation methodology is reasonable but unverified by the source. This is 'partial' because the source confirms the premise but not the conclusion.
