Tokenomics, live

On the Day-1 stage, Jeetu Patel (in a fireside with AMD CIO Hasmukh Ranjan) sketched a back-of-the-envelope model for the new AI token line item: at roughly $200 in tokens per employee per week, an AI-empowered workforce's annual token bill climbs into the hundreds of millions at enterprise scale.
