AI token costs are going to SKYROCKET after IPOs to the point that it's eyewatering.
In order to break even, Anthropic would need to make 400 billion a year for 5 years (they made 4.6 this year). THE MATH DOES NOT MAKE SENSE.

But realizing they need to double, triple, quadruple token costs for IPO? Oh no, that's not gonna fly only a year or two after firing everyone. They still REMEMBER and have ACCESS TO that labor.

“The concern is that some of their largest enterprise customers are starting to rein in token spending and overall AI spend.

Executives I've been talking to over at Anthropic and OpenAI are very much aware of this pricing pressure.

The IPO window might be right now” - CNBC

Here's the thing, though: if this IPO fails, it could start the collapse of the AI bubble. It's going to happen. The move to token-based pricing made that crash all the more likely. When that market crashes, it's going to take the global economy with it, & that economy already sucks due to wars.

I still think the prices they're charging per token isn't even "profit" territory, this is, "We need to make our finances look less terrible for our IPO" territory.
They are so fuckin far from profitability.

I knew they were going to jack up the token prices once everyone was fired, but admit I didn't realize the IPO was going to be the likely first cliff. That is MUCH sooner than I anticipated. For this grift to work, you have to do it long enough to obliterate labor who knows how to do this work.

I can say with certainty that OpenAI cannot afford this. To do this before IPO is like putting a gun to your head and trying to ransom someone. Customers must be flipping their shit at their current token bills. And according to SemiAnalysis OpenAI lets you burn $14k of tokens on a $200 a month plan

How does anyone even take the SpaceX IPO seriously?
The bottom bars are Grok token demand which has been approximately 0 since May 16th.
This is Elon's $28.5 trillion TAM.
0 x "Addressable" = 0

In a little under three months, Anthropic and OpenAI’s customers are in mutiny after being shifted to a token-based billing model where they pay the actual cost of AI.
This is terrible timing for two near-IPO companies that cannot afford to have their growth slow.

New from me: the AI revolution is here for software, but are you feeling like the industry is getting lost in the hype?
Instead of tons of high quality software, we're drowning in a new era of shovelware. And that's just the beginning of the dangers.

What happens next:
As Anthropic, OpenAI, et al IPO, they raise their token prices by 1-2 orders of magnitude.
AI stops being cheap but by that point a lot of key workers have left the industry for good. And anyone trying to re-hire humans is going to be running into stiff competitioon.
