## Resource

This video is a clip from BND: Strategy Room Live Stream on June 13, 2026. What are tokens? How do companies purchase AI usage through tokens? How are tokens valued from a dollar perspective? These are important questions to understand as the AI price wars have begun. Anthropic and OpenAI have both filed for an IPO, but will they make it? The government forced Anthropic to put the brakes on some of their new models. At the same time, OpenAI is slashing prices to compete against Anthropic and prevent companies from seeking cheaper alternatives. As the AI bill comes due, companies are experiencing major sticker shock! This clip examines articles from CNBC, The Business Journals, and The Wall Street Journal.
