Vinod Khosla Measures AI Bubble With API Calls

Vinod Khosla said on an OpenAI podcast released Monday that he measures AI industry health by API calls rather than stock prices, arguing API traffic better reflects real use and demand. The remarks came amid growing debate over an "AI bubble" after a surge in investment and commentary from figures including Bill Gates, Michael Burry and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. Khosla said API-call trends avoid stock-market volatility when assessing AI uptake.
