Market Intelligence
Tokenpocalypse
TL;DR
Big AI providers are hiking prices to juice their IPO numbers, and your margins are about to get squeezed.
Who is this actually for?
SaaS founders building on top of OpenAI or Anthropic APIs who haven't priced in a 30% cost hike.
The Good
- Forces you to actually optimize your prompts instead of being lazy with token usage.
- A good wake-up call to start testing local LLMs like Llama 3 to avoid vendor lock-in.
The Catch (Potential Downsides)
It is mostly speculation until the S-1 filings hit, and there is zero you can do if your entire stack depends on a single proprietary model.
