Cognition 把 AI 计费从 token 消耗转向工程价值，做 AI 采购或管理开发团队的决策者值得关注——这可能是行业计费模式的分水岭。
Cognition 公司创始人 Scott Wu 发文批评按 token 用量衡量 AI 生产力的做法，并宣布 Devin 推出 AI 生产力保障计划。该计划基于真实工程师时间估算数据集，衡量每个 Devin 任务对应的有效工程小时数。如果 Devin 交付的工程价值低于客户支付的费用，Cognition 将补足使用额度，最高 1000 万美元。此举旨在推动行业从衡量活动转向衡量产出，让 AI 公司真正为价值负责。

Measuring someone's productivity by their token usage is a horrible idea. Giving everyone the same fixed token budget isn't much better. So what's the right way to roll out AI across your org? We built a system to measure how many productive engineering hours every Devin task is worth, validated against a dataset of real engineers’ times estimates. The goal is to answer the fundamental question that companies are grappling with: how much real value are you getting from each of your agent sessions? On top of that, we're giving an AI productivity guarantee! Now if Devin delivers less engineering value than you're paying for, we fund your usage until it does. The whole industry needs to move from measuring activity to measuring output. We hope to see more AI companies taking this approach. Cognition @cognition AI should earn its keep. Introducing the AI Productivity Guarantee. If Devin delivers less engineering value than you’re paying for, Cognition will fund your usage until it does, up to $10 million. It’s time for the AI industry to stop maximizing tokens and start maximizing productive output. 🔗 View Quoted Tweet 💬 35 🔄 31 ❤️ 475 👀 62477 📊 102 ⚡
