Artificial intelligence is entering a new phase in 2026—one where excitement around bigger models, unlimited compute and autonomous agents is increasingly being replaced by economic reality. The key question is no longer simply how powerful AI can become, but who pays for intelligence at scale and how businesses can turn every AI interaction into measurable value.

In this edition of VARINDIA News Hour, we explore the shift from “tokenmaxxing” to tokenomics, as every prompt, reasoning step and agent action carries an economic consequence connected to compute, energy, infrastructure, cost and productivity. We also examine how enterprises are moving away from loyalty to a single AI platform and toward multi-model strategies that can intelligently select between Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek and specialised AI models based on cost, accuracy, latency, security and task complexity.
