Introducing usage-based pricing for Amazon SageMaker AI bidirectional streaming
TL;DR
AWS Marketplace now supports usage-based metering for Amazon SageMaker bidirectional streaming inference, so model providers can charge for what customers actually consume during a live stream. Deepgram is the launch partner, bringing usage-based speech-to-text and text-to-speech billing to AWS Marketplace.
Nauti's Take
For a small AI stack, this is primarily a cost-control test: compare Deepgram’s metered minutes, concurrent streams, and interruptions with your current API spend before moving production traffic. The key detail to verify is how clearly AWS Marketplace exposes usage data and any additional charges during live operation.
