Otto Dobretsberger

This summer marks a turning point in how developers consume AI tooling. GitHub Copilot's transition from flat-rate subscriptions to usage-based billing, powered by token consumption and GitHub AI Credits, which started on June 1st, is more than a billing change. It's a clear signal that the economics of AI-assisted development are maturing, and that the era of treating AI as “free” is ending.
