CFEX has announced the general availability of its AI Billing Solution, a billing product intended to help participants in the AI value chain monetize “the whole AI stack — from energy to GPUs to training data to generative models to applications.” CFEX positions the product as a way for asset owners to track revenue and margins across multiple AI-related goods and services.
CFEX says the target users include data centers, AI factories, cloud service providers, data rights holders, model service providers, and application developers. The company argues these AI compute resources, training data, models, and applications are scarce and expensive to develop, and says its billing system supports “unlimited pricing models,” customer billing, and settlement with suppliers.
CFEX says its AI Billing Solution follows its recently announced energy supply portfolio management solution. CFEX says that product enables data centers and AI factories to track and minimize energy costs, which it reports can account for as much as 60 percent of operating costs. CFEX says using the two products together is intended to help data centers and AI factories maximize revenue while minimizing energy costs.
CFEX says the core of the AI Billing System is a pricing engine designed to support pricing constructs tied to GPU models, reservation types, and cloud storage types, as well as outcome-based and value-based pricing. CFEX also lists token-based pricing, bundling seats with token credits, and a free tier with usage caps as supported pricing options.
