Highlights that the AI industry is broadly extremely capacity-crunched, with demand fluctuating wildly across day and night cycles. Suggests that major AI companies should introduce real-time dynamic pricing for their APIs to balance the load.
The author argues that AI agents are well-equipped to handle variable pricing and batching through engineering workflows, making it easier to optimize for and project total costs while improving overall compute utilization.
