Microsoft Shifts Copilot to Usage-Based Pricing
Description
Microsoft is ditching flat fees for Copilot, shifting to a usage-based pricing model after heavy users racked up massive bills—mirroring GitHub Copilot’s costly surprises. Led by exec Charles Lamanna, the move admits flat pricing wasn’t scalable, revealing the hidden compute costs of deep AI integration. To cut costs, Microsoft is also testing cheaper open-source model DeepSeek V4, securely run within Azure, aiming to balance power and price as AI adoption surges.
