I’m experimenting with a different model: users fund their own AI usage directly, similar to prepaid mobile data.

In this system:

1.Users preload a balance\n2.Each request is signed by the user\n3.The cost is deducted from the user’s balance per request\n4.Apps don’t pay for tokens or manage billing
