# AI Economics Hub
> [!Note]
> Sub-hub for the economics of AI platforms: pricing models, cost
> structure, the consumption-based shift, and the supply-side dynamics
> (compute, agentic workloads) that drive both. Distinct from `5 - LLM
> Foundations Hub` (how the models work) and from `0 - Modern AI Software
> Engineering Hub` (how to engineer with them).
