The shift to #usagebased #pricing for #AI, measured by #tokens, is creating challenges for CFOs. Only 26% of companies have a comprehensive view of their #AIcosts, with many experiencing unpredictable and hard-to-model expenses. Companies are implementing tools to manage #AIspending, scrutinising employee usage, and focussing budgets on major projects to control costs. https://www.wsj.com/cfo-journal/the-metric-cfos-struggle-to-track-ai-usage-3b30c10c?eicker.news #tech #media #news

Starting June 1, 2026, #GitHub #Copilot will transition to #usagebased billing, replacing premium request units with GitHub #AICredits. This change aligns pricing with actual usage, as Copilot has evolved into a more powerful platform with higher compute demands. While base plan pricing remains unchanged, users will have a monthly allotment of AI Credits. https://github.blog/news-insights/company-news/github-copilot-is-moving-to-usage-based-billing/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

This was inevitable. It’s the beginning of the end for subsidized AI subscriptions. GitHub Copilot and Claude are transitioning to usage-based billing. Others will follow.
Starting June 1, Copilot’s new pricing structure will be as follows: for $39, you will receive 3,900 AI credits, each valued at $0.01. Unused AI credits won’t accumulate.
