The AI tokenmaxxing frenzy is crashing — companies are ditching the “use as much AI as possible” hype after realizing it’s expensive and inefficient. What started as a badge of honor for execs, complete with internal AI usage competitions, is now seen as a costly misstep. Businesses are pivoting to smarter, cost-conscious AI strategies, routing simple tasks to cheap models and reserving heavy-duty AI for complex needs. Meanwhile, affordable open-source models — especially from China — are emerging as strong alternatives, challenging the dominance of pricey U.S. tools and signaling that AI adoption is moving toward practicality over pure consumption.
