The Token Economy Is Real - And SA Businesses Need to Pay Attention

AI pricing is collapsing. GPT-5.6 just shipped. Meta's Muse Spark API is at $4.25/M output tokens. The cost of building AI-powered tools has never been lower.

Here is what that means for South African businesses:

1/ Custom AI tools are now affordable for mid-market operations
2/ Token economics changes the build vs buy calculation
3/ Local customization is the competitive edge

The businesses that win in the next 12 months will not be the ones with the biggest AI budgets. They will be the ones who moved first.
