Pay-per-inference for AI agents: How BlockRun and Incarna use Amazon Bedrock AgentCore payments
In this post, we look at how Incarna used AgentCore payments to let its agents pay BlockRun for model inference one request at a time.
Key points
- When an AI agent runs, it often needs to buy something to finish a task: a model inference, an API response, access web content, or a call to another agent.
- BlockRun is a pay-as-you-go inference router serving more than 90 models from more than 15 providers over x402, each call quoted and settled independently.
- AgentCore payments works with x402-compatible endpoints, including Amazon Bedrock inference endpoints.
- The challenge: Paying for inference by the request
