Field Descriptions
- Token: the smallest unit of text processing in LLMs; prices are quoted per million tokens.
- price_yoy: versus the price level of H2 2025; the report concludes prices "doubled".
- consumption_growth: the growth of token consumption; the report concludes "3x growth".
- daily_tokens_jun2026: about 500 trillion tokens consumed daily in June 2026.
- daily_tokens_multiple: June 2026 daily consumption vs. December 2025, about 4x.
- supply_mode: token services are mainly supplied through public cloud APIs; the report was issued partly because users lack direct evidence for judging token service performance and face selection difficulty.
