AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.

Teams that sell or budget for LLM services may care how inference costs are measured and charged to users. The discussion is early and small, so it should be read as a question being raised rather than a settled method. Readers can watch whether the thread draws more input or whether providers adopt similar per-user GPU pricing.

Hardware and robotics watchers may want to track whether this becomes a product, benchmark, or deployment signal.
