You could have a hybrid business model:

Build a thing that does a complex thing elegantly (Some Deep Research Task) that is non trivial for others to setup, but many people want it.

Charge a direct access in a traditional sense [$5 per project] -- but then have the Customer link their API to the execution cost - so they basically are paying for:

"Go here and pay HN $5 to output this TASK, charge my API to get_it_done" This could be a seriously powerful tool for the Digital Consulting Services industry.

(I mean that is what its model for)

So this begs the question, will Anthropic be building in a payments mechanism for such to happen?
