Major tech companies like Meta, Uber, and Microsoft have been spending heavily on AI tokens, but about 82% of these tokens are wasted with little clarity on the return on investment. This has led firms to reduce their AI token budgets and shift focus from quantity to efficiency in AI spending. The move signals challenges for AI startups like Anthropic and OpenAI, as investors increasingly demand transparency and accountability ahead of potential IPOs. Industry experts are calling for a new 'Return on Tokens' metric to better measure AI spending effectiveness.
