We all buy AI tokens in the dumbest possible way.One developer opens an account with an LLM provider.Another developer does the same.Then another.We each put $5, $10, $20 into separate accounts. We each get retail pricing, separate limits, separate balances, and absolutely zero purchasing power.Meanwhile, most of us don't even consume AI compute consistently.One week we're burning tokens on an agent experiment.The next week we're barely using the API.So I started wondering:What if we stopped buying AI inference individually? Imagine 1,000 developers putting $5 into the same potThat's $5,000 every month.Not venture capital.Not a startup subscription.Not another “AI platform.”Just 1,000 developers collectively funding a shared pool of LLM inference.You contribute $5.You authenticate with GitHub.You get an API key.export OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://api.tokenpot.example/v1export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk_...And that's it.Use it from your scripts.Use it from your agents.Use it from your applications.Us...
