Box CEO Aaron Levie predicted on October 29, 2026, that agents will in the future consume 1,000 times the tokens they do today, because agents will need to run within workflows, process enterprise data, build almost all software, and secure enterprises. Levie believes that achieving this scale requires simultaneously advancing the capabilities, safety, and efficiency under large workloads of both closed-source models and open-weight models. He also mentioned that Suhail is building Particle for this purpose; Suhail announced the new company Particle the same day, whose particle-1 model uses about 45% fewer tokens at comparable performance.

Aaron Levie: Agent token consumption will reach 1,000 times the current level
Box CEO Aaron Levie predicts that agents will consume 1,000 times as many tokens in the future as they do now, because they will need to run in workflows, process enterprise data, build almost all software, and secure enterprises. He believes that scaling requires simultaneously advancing the capabilities, safety, and efficiency under large workloads of both closed-source model frontiers and open-weight models, and mentioned that Suhail is building Particle for this purpose. Suhail announced the new company Particle the same day, whose particle-1 model uses about 45% fewer tokens while maintaining comparable performance.
