In the past year, Google's artificial intelligence (AI) token consumption has shown an astonishing growth trend, surging 50 times! According to the latest data, by April 2025, Google's AI inference volume will reach 480 trillion tokens, far exceeding Microsoft and ChatGPT's 100 trillion tokens. This remarkable growth is thanks to several free AI products launched by Google, particularly the AI summary function in search engines, which has attracted a large number of users, with a user base 5 to 6 times that of ChatGPT.

Although the cost of AI inference is rising, for Google, this expenditure accounts for only 1% of its search revenue. Clearly, Google has not reduced its investment in the AI field due to increased costs. On the contrary, capital expenditures are still focused on training new models and R&D to ensure the company's leading position in the field of artificial intelligence.

Looking ahead, Google plans to launch more innovative applications, including general AI assistants, browser proxies, and video generation models. These new applications will further boost the token base, allowing Google to advance its AI inference capabilities. With its continuously strengthened technical strength, Google will undoubtedly occupy a more important position in the future AI market and continue to lead the development direction of the industry.

As an industry leader, Google's rapid growth not only reflects the strength of the company but also marks the gradual popularization of AI technology in daily life. As the demand for AI products from users increases, Google's AI applications will undoubtedly affect more people's lives and work styles, and it is worth our ongoing attention.
