During the Google I/O keynote this morning, Google CEO Sundar Pichai mentioned that AI usage across Google’s products and services climbed from 9.7 trillion tokens in April 2024 to more than 480 trillion tokens in April 2025, a 50x increase.
Tokens are the raw bits of data that AI models work with, with a million tokens being equivalent to about 750,000 words (roughly 163,000 words longer than “War and Peace”).
