An OpenAI employee consumed 603 billion tokens in one month—valued at $1.3M—revealing the true cost of AI programming; Uber burned through its $3.4B annual AI budget in four months, and Microsoft dropped Claude Code, proving unlimited top-model usage is financially unsustainable; domestic open-source models cost 1/30–1/50 of foreign flagship models, but strongest models remain closed-source and self-hosting incurs high hardware costs.
入选理由：OpenAI员工单月使用6030亿Token（≈130万美元），若按市场价折算，程序员年均Token成本达200万～1亿人民币。
