OPENAI HAS STARTED LETTING SOME CUSTOMERS PAY ONLY WHEN THE AI WORKS

Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

OpenAI has started testing an arrangement with a limited number of select major accounts where they only pay when the AI actually completes the job. The terms, customers, and prices are all unknown as OpenAI has not announced the test publicly. Token-based pricing has become a problem in the industry as it makes accounting difficult. The industry has started turning to outcome-based pricing as a market standard.
