The Future of Token Maxing, Open Source Models, and AI Pricing | Eve Cogan & Eddie Kranz

Eddie talks about the future of “token maxing” as AI costs rise and companies begin putting tighter spending limits on developers. Eddie argues that pushing models hard still unlocks major productivity gains, but admits that pricing pressure is changing the conversation. He discusses how expensive frontier models can quickly burn through weekly limits, why he may need to shift toward cheaper alternatives, and how competition from lower-cost models could force the major AI providers to respond. #AI #TokenMaxing #ClaudeAI #OpenAI #OpenSourceAI #DeveloperTools #LLM #AICosts #SSWTV #SoftwareDevelopment V1 - Marcus
