Vienna, Va. – October 24, 2026 -- Permuta Technologies has published a white paper arguing that token- and consumption-based AI pricing can turn AI from a predictable line item into a variable operating cost for government agencies.
The paper, titled "You Can't Consume Your Way Out of AI Cost Opacity," is the second in the company's series of white papers on AI and government. It examines how the shift in AI pricing models affects government acquisition, budgeting and long-term contract control.
