Tech columnist Gergely Orosz <a href="https://blog.pragmaticengineer.com/the-pulse-tokenmaxxing-as-a-weird-new-trend/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS">>estimated the tab</a> at roughly $900 million at Anthropic's list prices, though Meta likely pays far less. Bain & Company consultant Jue Wang sees a quieter version of that waste everywhere: "So many companies, so many users, default to using Opus for everything, including generating emails," she <a href="https://wtop.com/news/2026/07/a-flex-in-corporate-america-ai-tokenmaxxing-fades-as-workplaces-look-to-cut-tech-spending/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS">>told the Associated Press</a> this summer, referring to Anthropic's high-end models. If you do the same thing, you're hiring Albert Einstein to calculate your change at a MacDonald’s. Every word you type into ChatGPT or Claude, and every word it writes back, is metered in <a href="https://help.openai.com/en/articles/4936856-what-are-tokens-and-how-to-count-them" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS">>tokens</a>, chunks of text that average about three-quarters of a word. On a $20 subscription that meter decides how fast you hit your usage limit. On the API, the pay-per-token access developers use to plug models into their own apps, it decides the bill. Here's Anthropic's current <a href="https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/pricing" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS">>price list</a>, per million tokens: Haiku's rate applies to prompts under 100,000 tokens; longer prompts cost five times as much. The top model costs 100 times more than the smallest, and OpenAI's <a href="https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/pricing" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS">>own lineup</a> runs the same spread, from $10 to $0.10 per million input tokens. Those per-token prices add up fast for the labs—and you: Anthropic's revenue run rate went from about $9 billion at the end of 2025 to more than <a href="https://simonwillison.net/2026/May/29/anthropic/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS">>$47 billion</a> by May, while OpenAI is fighting a <a href="https://decry

OpenCode was breached, and OpenAI stepped in to make amends: API quota consumed by the attack will be refunded to users.
CoinWorld news, OpenAI Product and Lead Thibault Sottiaux stated that the team has partnered with OpenCode to help affected OpenAI API customers restore service and refund API credits consumed during the attack. Previously, OpenCode disclosed that a soon-to-be-retired legacy system had been compromised, potentially leaking user-hosted third-party model API keys, affecting 1.4% of Console users. After obtaining the keys, attackers could impersonate users to call paid models, and community users have already reported anomalous charges amounting to hundreds of dollars. In addition to addressing user losses, OpenAI has granted OpenCode Daybreak Blue defensive permissions, allowing vetted security teams to reduce refusals during legitimate defensive tasks.
