AI vendors shift to consumption pricing as AI PCs emerge to control spiralling cloud costs

Major AI vendors are abandoning per-seat subscriptions for token consumption pricing, making cloud AI significantly more expensive for enterprises. AI PCs with neural processing units now offer a cost-effective alternative by running local models for routine tasks, providing zero marginal cost per query after hardware purchase. The shift creates a new hybrid model where enterprises balance cloud infrastructure for complex tasks against local compute for high-volume, low-complexity work.
