## AI overview

This commentary examines how rising AI model costs are pushing companies toward usage-based and outcome-based pricing. It argues that these models can make costs unpredictable as customers and businesses scale, and emphasizes predictability as an important principle for software and payments. It also announces Dodo Payments v1.101.0, including subscription payment retries, business proration settings, and improved B2B invoicing.
