Yesterday’s market selloff highlighted a disconnect between stock movements and underlying AI demand, amidst new insights from AI analyst Luke Lango. Despite a 27% increase in the cost to rent essential AI computing resources, token volumes surged, indicating robust demand. OpenRouter volume jumped from roughly 5 trillion tokens weekly last November to an estimated 31 to 33 trillion, and Google’s processing rose to over 3.2 quadrillion tokens monthly—up 7x year-over-year.
Walmart’s recent financial struggles showcased consumer pressure, reporting a 2.6% increase in comparable sales against expectations of 3.8%, suggesting that sensitivity to gas prices impacts spending. This contributes to volatility in the AI sector, which Lango asserts is a sympathy selloff and does not reflect fundamentals. The revised AI Revolution Portfolio, encompassing around 20 selected stocks, aims to mitigate such market fluctuations while ensuring strategic allocation.
Key to understanding current trends, Lango points out that the global token market is projected to hit 120 quadrillion tokens monthly by 2030, with leading firms like Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta continuing their substantial investments in AI. This backdrop signals an opportunity for investors ready to pivot in response to market noise.
