高通CEO：2030年全球Token需求将增长40倍

"Every 10 seconds, global token demand is around 31.7 billion in 2026. By 2030 its 1.27 trillion, a 40x increase."

~ Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon:

The token explosion is not mainly about smarter answers; it is about AI moving from human-paced interaction to Agent-paced activity.

Once agents become persistent, the economy of AI stops will be the background infrastructure.

Every useful action has a hidden bill: context must be carried, memory must be updated, sensors may need to be interpreted, and mistakes must be caught before they become expensive.
