We Passed 10 Billion Tokens with OpenAI — Here's Why It Matters for You
TL;DR CLEATUS crossed 10 billion tokens with OpenAI—roughly 40 million pages of government contract data transformed into actionable intelligence. This milestone reflects thousands of daily opportunity matches, proposal insights, and bid recommendations that help contractors find, bid, and win. The scale directly translates into better matching, smarter analysis, cleaner data, and more reliable performance for our users.
OpenAI's "Tokens of Appreciation" recognizes organizations that process massive volumes of data through their API — real proof of large-scale adoption. After DevDay, OpenAI began shipping physical plaques to teams crossing major thresholds, starting at 10 billion tokens.
CLEATUS has officially joined that list.
While the plaque was addressed to our cofounder, Mithat Cakmak, the milestone belongs to the CLEATUS platform and our users — because every token represents a piece of public data transformed into private opportunity.
Putting 10 Billion Tokens into Perspective
Ten billion tokens is roughly:
-
40 million pages of text
-
The full text of English Wikipedia, several times over
-
Or, in our world, millions of federal, state, and local government contract files parsed, cleaned, and structured into intelligence businesses can act on.
It's not just about scale — it's about turning complexity into clarity.
