# 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). ## 1. Pricing models - [[Consumption-Based Pricing]] - [[Per-Token Pricing]] - [[Prompt Caching as Pricing Lever]] --- ## 2. Cost structure and supply - [[AI Compute Crunch]] - [[Agentic Workload Cost Explosion]] --- ## 3. Industry dynamics - --- ## 4. Anchor sources - [[Anthropic 2026 Pricing Shift (Kingy AI)]] - [[AI is Getting Expensive (The Register)]] - [[Anthropic Enterprise Pricing Shift (Medium)]] --- ## Up - [[0 - Modern AI Software Engineering Hub]]
