Stripe's Jeff Weinstein announced the company is testing a new API for agent builders: it instructs agents with "the most reliable, highest speed, lowest token cost way to pay every business in the world," targeting the wasted time and tokens agents burn figuring out how to pay specific merchants. Early access via email.
A notable infrastructure signal for autonomous agents: the payments layer of agent commerce is being productized by a major payment company.
