The corporate sector is reeling from a brutal hangover from 'tokenmaxing': a major client, Anthropic, managed to burn through $500 million in just one month on the Claude platform simply because the managers forgot to set limits on the agency workflows, forcing AI models to run in circles 24/7. Against this backdrop, Uber openly admits that the ROI on AI expenditures is becoming mythical, Amazon is shutting down internal leaderboards due to employees generating empty prompts for the sake of rankings, and Microsoft is frantically retracting third-party AI licenses from staff.
For the market, this marks the beginning of an era of hard-nosed AI pragmatism: the wild throwing around of venture billions for hype is officially over, and Big Tech is bracing for a large-scale audit of the real utility of technologies. Investors in AI tokens should buckle up — if companies start slashing budgets for LLMs en masse, the overheated sector of decentralized AI protocols like FET, NEAR, and RNDR is in for a painful but necessary technical correction
