but are you using less of them because they're cheaper, or are you using more of the more advanced models and running them harder?

It could happen, but it seems "regressive" almost as most companies are completely not ready to build this muscle.

If Mastercard and Visa are doing something like this I know it'll go nowhere and die slowly.

They're so full of internal committees I can't imagine this goes anywhere by itself.

The terminology for visa's "Agentic Ready" is "controlled production environments" which is corporate for "we made a press release"...

Bullish on Stripe's MPP - that one has legs.

Gifting credits to a prospect, a new hire, or an enterprise running a POC is like giving away productive capacity with an obfuscated dollar value attached - hidden behind a credit.

I wrote about it too as part of my notes on AI led growth https://arnon.dk/notes-on-ai-led-growth-alg/

It always seems like the security are afraid to tackle the thieves in the shops. Every second visit to a shop in London, I see someone shoplifting and getting away with it.

I wonder if OpenAI will build their own or go with a really big enterprise billing solution coupled with their own home-built metering setup

I suggest we go back to before and be human about things - and build trust in-person.
arnon

that's exactly my point - yes

you need to prove beyond a doubt that YOU are the right one to buy from, because it's so easy for 3 Stanford dropouts in a trenchcoat to make a seemingly successful business in just a few days of vibecoding.

You're right - it isn't
