Few customers value tokens anywhere near what it costs the big API vendors. When the bubble pops the only survivors will be whoever can offer tokens at as close to zero cost as possible. Also whoever is selling hardware for local AI.

To those who use AI to get real work done in real products we build, we very much appreciate the value of each token given how much operational overhead it offsets. A bubble pop, if one does indeed happen, would at best be as disruptive as the dot-com bust.
