> **Visual Context:** The image is a log-scale chart from Menlo Ventures showing OpenRouter's weekly token volume from June 2023 to August 2026, highlighting explosive growth from 2.7 trillion tokens/week at first spike to 75 trillion tokens/week by August 2026—scaling past 4.5 quadrillion tokens per year with volume doubling roughly every 11 weeks (~33% monthly growth). The chart's relentless exponential trajectory contradicts the post's suggestion that high-value AI tasks aren't increasing, instead suggesting these massive token volumes are being driven by other use cases—likely lower-value, high-volume applications rather than complex reasoning tasks.
