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. The top model costs 100 times more than the smallest, and OpenAI's <a href="https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/pricing" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS">>own lineup</a> runs the same spread, from $10 to $0.10 per million input tokens. 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
