AI infrastructure firm Zettabyte said AI token generation exploded more than 330-fold over two years and urged that compute be measured by delivered useful work rather than raw hardware specs or hourly price. According to Alphabet’s Google, monthly AI token generation grew from about 9.7 trillion to more than 3.2 quadrillion, and Zettabyte presented its quality-compute framework at a seminar hosted by Taiwan’s Industrial Technology Research Institute.
