That’s far-fetched. It’s in the interest of the model builders to solve your problem as efficiently as possible token-wise. High value to user + lower compute costs = better pricing power and better margins overall.

> far-fetched

Remember Google?

Once it was far-fetched that they would make the search worse just to show you more ads. Now, it is a reality.

With tokens, it is even more direct. The more tokens users spend, the more money for providers.
