OpenRouter says heavy discounts on GPT-5.6 Terra and Luna sent token use up 13.8x. OpenAI cofounder @gdb called it Jevons Paradox. Lower prices drove more workloads, so cheaper inference can raise total compute demand instead of cutting it.
AI visual note: The image is an OpenRouter chart titled "Only the discounted models bent upward," showing that token volume spiked across multiple AI models, with heavily discounted ones like GPT-5.6 Terra and Luna seeing roughly 13.8x growth, illustrating how lower inference prices increased total compute demand rather than reducing it.
