About this event
Open-weight models are changing the economics of building and monetizing AI products. As open models close the capability gap and inference costs fall, companies must rethink what customers will pay for—and how to capture the value they create.
Join a small group of monetization leaders across product, growth, finance, and engineering to discuss:
- The economics of building with open versus frontier models - Why token pass-through isn’t a durable pricing model - How to define and communicate the value of your product beyond the underlying model You’ll hear how industry leaders are building with open models and how those decisions are reshaping their monetization strategies.
