OpenAI quietly tests pay-per-completed-job pricing for big accounts
OpenAI is reportedly letting a handful of major customers skip token-based billing and pay only when its AI actually finishes the job, like a support ticket handled end-to-end. Terms, prices, and clients are undisclosed, and OpenAI hasn't commented. It's a notable posture change: the vendor, not the buyer, now eats failure. OpenAI follows Intercom, Zendesk, and Salesforce down the outcome-based path, so expect the per-success-rate math to get very interesting.
