API Summit kicked off with our CEO and Co-Founder, @sonicaghi, taking the stage! He discussed how AI connectivity is the future of the agentic era and Kong is the connectivity layer of AI. Then, @slashdotpeter, co-founder of OpenMeter, joined him stage to discuss how with Kong's recent acquisition of OpenMeter, Kong Konnect is the only platform with metering, billing and enforcement all in one place. It is the platform for API and AI monetization, and metering and billing is how we power the AI connectivity era. #APISummit25

@btbytes Sounds like you want to meter a specific task, maybe SDK is better for that, but for K8s-based compute we have an agent: openmeter.io/docs/collector…

Looks like openmeter and Lago is where I should look.

Question: what is the most accurate way of measuring compute used to complete a CPU+GPU intensive tasks. Example: processing a large file. The intent is to bill the user based on the compute used.

Big news! OpenMeter is joining @kong Together, we’re bringing metering, entitlements, and billing closer to where consumption happens: right at the API and AI layer. You can read more about this news here: openmeter.io/blog/openmeter…

@NathanFlurry @rivet_gg It’s called a designer. Look how pretty @AndrasHajgato makes ours openmeter.io/docs/collector… ;)

Technical diagrams that don't look like trash are so hard to build This is the first run with a design pack for @rivet_gg's upcoming website & blog posts Thoughts? Who does this well?

@not_nang Check out @openmeterio, we have entitlements to limit customer usage and protect costs.

@GergelyOrosz On the opposite side I’m always surprised that YouTube Premium does have annual price but it’s not recurring.

An increasingly annoying pain point for me: SaaS services I have been a customer for years (and will remain one for years) do not allow billing annually. They keep billing monthly. I just want one bill per year, and not even looking for a discount... but often no option

When you know that the voicemail about the $999 Macbook order is a scam because Docker / VSCode needs bigger machines 😭

@alexdanilo99 @NathanFlurry Same purchase dreams 😂

@slashdotpeter @NathanFlurry my setup is a humble Bambino + Baratza Encore ESP, but yes I make a cortado every morning too! first purchase after IPO is a La Marzocco haha And love Coffee Movement.

@alexdanilo99 @NathanFlurry Cortado. Niche grinder with a Rocket R58. Are you a coffee snob too?

@slashdotpeter @NathanFlurry What's your setup!? And drink of choice?!

The combo of waitpoint tokens (human in the loop), realtime, and warm starts is perfect for building agents. We're going to be creating a lot of examples of what's possible over the coming weeks. trigger.dev/blog/v4-beta-l…

@JinjingLiang OpenMeter ☺️

Now you can meter, price, and invoice after GPU usage with OpenMeter and Run:ai.

You can now meter, price, and invoice after Run:ai workloads with OpenMeter. openmeter.io/blog/monetize-…

Hi Nvidia GTC folks, OpenMeter now has a Run:ai metrics collector to monetize allocated and used GPUs openmeter.io/docs/collector…

The fastest way to slow down a pricing change? Requiring an engineer to make it.

Btw this is how you can recreate @cursor_ai pricing in @openmeterio if you want to launch similar plans with usage-based limits: youtube.com/watch?v=RKqJLQ…

Billing complexity slows down growth. Every pricing change, new package, or deal adds technical debt. @OpenmeterIO offers scalable metering, flexible pricing & automated billing in one platform— giving teams control without draining engineering resources. openmeter.io/blog/openmeter…

Usage-based billing, metering, and pricing via open source, thanks to @slashdotpeter & this team at @openmeterio - openmeter.io/blog/openmeter…
