Short summary

Palantir CEO Alex Karp argues that OpenAI and Anthropic's token-based pricing models lead enterprises to waste money without clear returns, criticizing the focus on raw token consumption. Companies are increasingly shifting their AI strategy away from buying more tokens and toward rigorously measuring actual business value and ROI from AI spending. This represents a broader market trend reflecting enterprise skepticism about whether AI vendors' pricing structures truly align with measurable business outcomes.
