If inference becomes a commodity, where does the cost advantage come from?

In a commoditizing market, per-unit price converges across suppliers and the remaining levers are consumption volume and purchasing position. Most organizations optimize neither — they pay list price to several providers and re-purchase answers to questions already answered.

Centralpoint meters consumption per execution and per skill, serves governed answers from the local index so repeated questions do not re-enter the model, and allows consumption across providers to be paid through Oxcyon on one consolidated invoice at a discount to published rates, with metering that suppresses redundant charges. The compounding effect is that the questions asked most often become the cheapest rather than the most expensive.
