Verdictunverifiable95%
1 check · 4/11/2026

The claim states 'api-calls-monthly: 260B' but the source only provides information about tokens per minute (6 billion), not monthly API calls. These are different metrics - tokens and API calls are not equivalent measures. The source does not contain information about monthly API call volume, making this claim unverifiable against the provided source text.

Notes
Approximate monthly API calls derived from Sam Altman's October 2025 disclosure of 6B tokens per minute on the API, up 20x over two years. At 6B tokens/min and ~1,000 tokens per call average, this implies roughly 8.6T tokens/day processed.
