#aipricing — Public Fediverse posts

Everyone knows that in the Cocaine pricing model, the first 3 hits are free -- then you gotta pay!

Same with AI ... Software vendors and AI model providers have been giving AI away for free to spur adoption by enterprises. Can you say “unmetered,” “complimentary,” or “included” scenarios.

Those “complimentary" subsidies are starting to disappear, as the AI industry transitions to Pay-Per-Use pricing models.

This means investing in AI is NOT just an IT procurement decision, it is now an "organizational design decision". https://hbr.org/2026/08/how-to-respond-to-the-coming-ai-cost-shock #AI #AICosts #AIPricing #HBR #Subsidized #Budgets #AIBudgeting #Pricing #Subscription #AI_Token #TokenConsumption #Enterprise_IT #AI_Token_Budgets

تعتزم شركة DeepSeek زيادة أسعار واجهة برمجة التطبيقات (API) بشكل كبير، لكنها لم تكشف بعد عن المعدلات الجديدة أو موعد سريانها. أبلغت الشركة المطورين وحثتهم على مراجعة خطط استخدامهم، مع بقاء الأسعار الحالية سارية حتى إشعار آخر. يأتي هذا القرار بعد إطلاق نموذجها الجديد DeepSeek-V4-Flash، وقد يؤثر الارتفاع المخطط له على ميزتها التنافسية القائمة على الأسعار المنخفضة، خاصة مع تزايد المنافسة من شركات مثل Anthropic وOpenAI.

New blog post: AI Pricing — A More Nuanced Take.
In April I argued AI prices would keep rising. More likely: they'll stratify. Frontier gets more expensive, mid-tier becomes a commodity — but a sticky one, as tuning and embedding into a company's data make implementations hard to leave. That customisation is the next SAP-style revenue engine.
The dependency to guard against isn't the model. It's everything built around it.

The AI boom has a dirty secret nobody wants to discuss

Oh, look! An article that promises to reveal the secrets of AI pricing but instead serves up a tasty buffet of *404 File Not Found* errors 🍽️. Apparently, #ModSecurity has decided that giving us actual content is simply "Not Acceptable" 🤦‍♂️.

Claude pro, now copilot stopped taking individual subscribers (to keep service quality stable while announcing in the same blog post that they lower quotas and remove models from the pro subscription, sure nothing to do with GitHub's bottomline) and rumours suggest they really want to post on the token costs to the users.

Oh, look! AI companies found a way to charge you more for using fancy words instead of grunts and gestures! 🤯💸 Congrats, they’ve now turned the digital Tower of Babel into a thriving money pit where every non-English speaker gets a "special" 60% surcharge privilege. 🌍🎩

Washington state proposed law to ban stores changing prices based on surveillance of who is buying it.
YES. This needs to be the law everywhere NOW. How do we get this to be an EU Directive by summer?

We had a great time at Product-Led Summit San Francisco where our very own Joel Zien was the MC and chair on a panel discussion with Sam Harris from Canopy, a Ford Motor company.

Here are some takeaways from the event:

- Treat product sunsetting like a launch.

- Rethink AI pricing models.

- Prioritize customer problems in AI development.

- Involve customers in product planning.
