SayGM sells access to AI models (Claude, GPT, Gemini and open models) through one API, below list price. Miners supply the capacity: each runs a worker holding its own paid accounts with the model providers, and earns on the traffic it serves. SayGM publishes the traffic served in every epoch, a 72-minute window (20 a day). This page adds up every epoch since the first paid one.
What "traffic value" is. It is the dollar value SayGM assigns to the requests miners served in an epoch, as published on saygm.com/miners. It is the closest public figure to customer spending. It is not SayGM's own profit: most of it covers what miners pay the model providers, and SayGM does not publish the split between its take and miners' pay.
What "requests" are. Individual calls to a model. They are the best available measure of usage and engagement; SayGM publishes no user or customer count.
Annualized run-rate: each day's traffic value multiplied by 365. A rate, not a forecast.
Dollar value of traffic divided by the number of requests, 7-day average. A rise means customers moved to pricier models or longer requests, not more usage.
Average number of miners paid for serving traffic in each 72-minute epoch, per day.

The $43,088 cycle-01 burn is about 13% of the $339,802 of traffic value served in the same 31 days (16 Aug to 15 Sep). SayGM calls it revenue spent on buybacks but does not say whether "revenue" means its own take or all traffic.
