What you'll learn

Tokenomics in the age of AI

Forecast token demand, manage supply, optimize inference, and connect token usage to sustainable AI economics.

Why this topic matters

AI systems rely on tokens for every response, but the cost and supply of those tokens can quickly become difficult to manage. Haritha's session explains how token utility, demand forecasting, supply, inference efficiency, and monetization fit together, so builders can make better decisions about capacity, cost, and scale.
