Cheap Tokens, Expensive Mistakes: The Real Economics of AI at Scale

A Fireside Chat with Liran Zvibel, Co-Founder & CEO, WEKA, and Dylan Patel, Founder & CEO, SemiAnalysis

AI just got real. Token costs are plummeting but skyrocketing demand is rewriting the economics of AI almost weekly. So why aren’t cheaper tokens translating into profitable AI?

In this fireside chat, Liran Zvibel (Co-Founder & CEO, WEKA) and Dylan Patel (Founder & CEO, SemiAnalysis) dig into the gap between falling prices and actual returns. Drawing on real deployments and fresh research, they break down what’s really happening beneath the surface and why the infrastructure decisions behind every inference call are what separate the companies winning with AI from the ones just funding it.
