The falling token price is only the opening act. Open-weight models pull the floor down; the real break happens when compute ownership follows. Cheap tokens buy capability. Owned hardware and keys buy sovereignty.
Cutting the cost of tokens

On a per token basis, the cost of using LLMs from Anthropic and OpenAI decreased a lot over just the past few months. Max Woolf lays out the fast timeline.
From the timeline above, there is a clear tit-for-tat between Anthropic and OpenAI, and it is reasonable to assume that these particular price cuts from OpenAI and Anthropic are in reaction to each other. However, no one cuts prices by 80% unless there is some externality in play. So, what gives?
