> Companies are spending the most on coding tools, not email writing.

They probably spend more on having LLMs just parse documents than writing emails than writing code. You maybe forget that most people are not programmers.

It doesn’t matter what “most people” are, coding agents use an obscene amount of tokens, literally millions per day. Every request to an agent needs to parse at least several different documents/files.

All LLMs use obscene tokens just programmers are more aware of it

		That’s not true. The different use cases of LLMs objectively use different amounts of tokens. AI coding agents can parse half a dozen or more files on each request, plus use a ton for thinking. Writing an email barely uses any in comparison.
