NVIDIA's new pay plan: Half salary in 'AI tokens'
What are AI tokens? 
This could become a big deal in job offers, future hires might start asking not just about salary but also how many AI tokens they'll get. NVIDIA's data center revenue has surged recently
Think of AI tokens as digital credits for using advanced AI tools.
One token equals about three-fourths of a word generated by an AI model, so writing 750 words takes 1,000 tokens.
Big projects can burn through billions. Companies like OpenAI charge $15 per million tokens.
If this plan goes through, NVIDIA proposed offering engineers an annual token budget on top of their regular pay.
NVIDIA expects strong growth in AI infrastructure demand, and its Data Center revenue has surged recently (figure and YoY change reported elsewhere).
These new token perks are all about helping engineers keep up with the massive growth in AI tech.
