What's really happening inside your AI costs when Jensen Huang says engineers will spend $250,000 a year on tokens?
The common story is that frontier models are expensive. But the reality is that your habits cost more than the models ever will, and most users burn 8-10x what they need to.
In this video, I share the inside scoop on token efficiency before Mythos pricing hits:
• Why raw PDFs can turn 4,500 words into 100,000 tokens
• How conversation sprawl compounds waste with every turn
• What plugin overhead costs you before you type a word
• Where model mixing drops a $10 session to $1
Builders who keep burning tokens as a badge of honor will face a reckoning when cutting-edge models cost 10x what Opus costs today. The habits you build now determine whether you scale or stall.
