I would say tokenmaxxing = spending without limits or care about results (and assuming results). The term as it is right now, at least.
When it comes to "using tokens overall", then open source models change the equation and in that case, we will enter a phase of 'maximizing AI usage...but for near-zero marginal increase in costs with increased usage'. But even then, the convo would shift to platform engineering...which would then ask 'what value are we getting out of this?'
OR - cloud model economics change over time and we use cloud models as happily and cost effectively as we do cloud storage now. But hard to say when that comes.
Open to thoughts, though.
