Tech columnist Gergely Orosz <a href="https://blog.pragmaticengineer.com/the-pulse-tokenmaxxing-as-a-weird-new-trend/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS">>estimated the tab</a> at roughly $900 million at Anthropic's list prices, though Meta likely pays far less. Bain & Company consultant Jue Wang sees a quieter version of that waste everywhere: "So many companies, so many users, default to using Opus for everything, including generating emails," she <a href="https://wtop.com/news/2026/07/a-flex-in-corporate-america-ai-tokenmaxxing-fades-as-workplaces-look-to-cut-tech-spending/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS">>told the Associated Press</a> this summer, referring to Anthropic's high-end models. If you do the same thing, you're hiring Albert Einstein to calculate your change at a MacDonald’s. Every word you type into ChatGPT or Claude, and every word it writes back, is metered in <a href="https://help.openai.com/en/articles/4936856-what-are-tokens-and-how-to-count-them" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS">>tokens</a>, chunks of text that average about three-quarters of a word. On a $20 subscription that meter decides how fast you hit your usage limit. On the API, the pay-per-token access developers use to plug models into their own apps, it decides the bill. Here's Anthropic's current <a href="https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/pricing" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS">>price list</a>, per million tokens: Haiku's rate applies to prompts under 100,000 tokens; longer prompts cost five times as much.

Those per-token prices add up fast for the labs—and you: Anthropic's revenue run rate went from about $9 billion at the end of 2025 to more than <a href="https://simonwillison.net/2026/May/29/anthropic/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS">>$47 billion</a> by May, while OpenAI is fighting a <a href="https://decry

Bank for International Settlements: Stablecoins and bank deposits exhibit an asset substitution effect.
CoinWorld data: The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) latest working paper points out that there is a clear asset substitution effect between stablecoins and bank deposits. U.S. weekly empirical data shows that for every 1 basis point increase in bank deposit rates, the cumulative market capitalization growth rate of stablecoins over 10 weeks will decrease by about 3 percentage points (amplified to about 9 percentage points under the instrumental variable method). This substitution effect is much stronger for USDC (-4.8%), which is more closely tied to the United States itself, than for the offshore-dominated USDT (-1.9%), and it also holds in certificate of deposit (CD) and DeFi lending scenarios, indicating that bank deposit pricing can directly constrain the pace of stablecoin expansion.

Anthropic: AI could push U.S. GDP to $44.4 trillion
According to a report from Bijie Network, Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark said that artificial intelligence could help U.S. economic output reach $44.4 trillion by 2030. Based on its internal economic model, Clark discussed this extreme growth scenario at the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. According to Anthropic's research, the most conservative scenario projects U.S. GDP will reach $34.1 trillion, representing a 1.6% increase over the baseline forecast. The study also explored how automation affects employment and the distribution of economic gains, with Clark emphasizing that economic growth does not necessarily bring a corresponding increase in workers' incomes.
