OpenAI — Monthly API Calls: 260 billion

NoteThe source confirms the foundational data point: OpenAI processes 'over 6 billion tokens per minute on the API' as of October 2025. However, the claim derives a calculated monthly API call figure (260 billion calls) from this token rate using an assumption of '~1,000 tokens per call average.' The source does NOT directly state or confirm the 260 billion monthly API calls figure. The source provides the raw token throughput (6B tokens/min) but not the derived call volume. The calculation methodology (6B tokens/min ÷ 1,000 tokens/call ÷ minutes per month) is reasonable but represents inference, not direct confirmation. The source confirms the input data (6B tokens/min) but not the output claim (260B monthly calls).
