OpenAI started charging for results: some of the big clients AI worked to pay
In recent months, OpenAI has begun to provide a new form of payment for some of its large clients: only after AI has completed its assignment will the client be required to pay. According to The Information, the current landing scenario includes passenger service, which the enterprise can pay for the actual passenger service performed by AI rather than simply token, call or number of seats. OpenAI did not publish the criteria for the determination of a specific client, unit price and “work done” and refused to comment on it. This “result-based” model is not a new package for all businesses, and the public pricing of the official network’s businesses is still based on a range and token billing, so it is more like a contract for some of the larger clients. OpenAI had already predicted this direction in January this year, and CFO Sarah Friar suggested that the future AI business model would be subject to a result fee. In July, Openai added that it was more important to focus on the actual costs of AI ' s mission than token unit prices。
