This is also at the end of the tokenmaxxing era, so I'm not sure I would draw a straight line out from here. A LOT of companies are clamping down on token costs right now.

I wouldn't bet on token consumption going down any time soon. In the past year or so, the increase has been exponential [1].

Even more companies are just starting AI/ML initiatives. The tokenmaxxing thing only happened at a handful of tech companies, most companies don't have unlimited money to do this kind of thing.

Once the Pathfinders find out where the real value is there is much more room for growth from companies who have be mindful of budget.
