I think this is bigger news than many here care to admit. Most companies' AI "strategy" is very naive and depending on subscription based cost calculations. Token-based billing will force those companies to actually think deeper about costs versus benefits. And that's going to be a rude awakening. Other AI providers will follow suit sooner or later. Most probably did by means of intransparent compute cuts and Token throttling.
