When it comes to inference TCO, token cost is the metric that determines whether AI can scale efficiently and profitably in the real world, not compute cost or FLOPS per dollar.
It’s the one TCO metric that directly accounts for hardware performance, software optimization, ecosystem support and real-world utilization — and NVIDIA delivers the lowest cost per token in the industry is available through leading providers like CoreWeave, Nebius, Nscale and Together AI.
