How AI Model Marketplaces Are Reshaping Software Pricing

Episode notes

Lucas and Luna dive into the quiet revolution in AI software pricing, where model marketplaces like those from Meta and Mistral are allowing companies to pay per inference rather than per license. They examine how this shift is putting pressure on traditional SaaS giants like Salesforce and ServiceNow, with ServiceNow's stock up 8.1% over the past five days despite the broader trend. The hosts discuss a specific case: a mid-size logistics firm that cut its software bill by 40% by switching from a per-seat CRM to a per-inference AI assistant. They also explore the implications for Adobe, whose 8.4% gain this week may reflect investor optimism about AI-native pricing. The conversation touches on the rise of 'AI-native' startups and the potential for a commoditization of enterprise software. #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Technology #SaaS #SoftwarePricing #ModelMarketplaces #ServiceNow #Adobe #Salesforce #Meta #Mistral #PerInference #EnterpriseSoftware #SubscriptionModel #AIAdoption #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechTrends Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
