What is the Return on Tokens?

The deep version of this (with deal examples, token ROI math, and a checklist for finance teams) is ~46 mins long, so I’ll summarize the core framework here and link the full piece if you want the details (no paywall). The post covers the following [in order]:

  • Anthropic's Revenue Surge (+ their recent Mythos 5/Fable 5 ban)
  • Companies moving from “token maxxing” (buying more tokens than you need) to “token minimising” (buying just enough to generate real, measurable value); a possible opportunity for Chinese open source models?
  • "Tokenomics" + calculating the return on tokens for an enterprise that uses LLMs
  • AI financing including coverage of Google & Nvidia's capital raises + credit analysis; more data centre deal economics (breaking down Anthropic’s recent chip financing deal as a casestudy); uneven value accrual in the tech stack

So this is why Fable 5 / Mythos 5 got banned for non US citizens shortly after release?
