Today AI got more expensive AND more useful. GitHub started metering Copilot. Anthropic filed for IPO. Gemini cloned you into videos. The unlimited AI era ended overnight.
Let's get into it. 👇
🪙 The "Unlimited AI" Era Ended at Midnight
For two years, the pitch was a flat fee. As of today, the meter is running.
GitHub Copilot officially transitioned to usage-based billing on June 1 — replacing the comfortable "premium requests" model with GitHub AI Credits that drain by the token. One credit equals one cent. A quick chat barely registers. An autonomous coding session points a meter at your repo and runs.

What actually shifts today:
Every plan moves to metered tokens at midnight
Inline autocomplete stays free. Chat and agentic sessions don't.
When your credits run out, Copilot stops — no quiet downgrade
Microsoft says the old model was unsustainable. Developers on Reddit say the new one is unaffordable for agentic work.
The uncomfortable question: when every AI coding tool meters by token, the developer who wins isn't the one with the smartest agent. It's the one who learned how to spend the fewest credits. Did your team pick up that skill yet?

This week's AIHealthTech Insider: Issue #103 unpacks the AMA's specific cautions, the one thing doctors are most worried patients get wrong (it isn't what most people would guess), and the Stanford data on what patients actually want from hospital AI.

🔹Claude Just Became a Real Estate Marketing Agency
Pull any listing from Airbnb, Booking, Zillow, or Expedia. Claude analyzes it, then builds the assets owners never had 3D tours, a clean website, photos that actually sell. Higgsfield MCP is the key. Pitch the owner. Get paid. Scale to the next one. The agency middle layer just got compressed into a single chat thread.
🔹OpenArt Just Launched VFX for Real Footage
OpenArt VFX lets you mask any region of a video you already have and replace it with AI-generated content that matches the scene's lighting and physics. No green screen. No rotoscope. No VFX house. The post-production layer Hollywood spent decades building just got compressed into one upload. The next indie short film won't need a budget. It'll need a prompt.
🔹Anthropic Just Filed Confidentially for an IPO
Anthropic confidentially submitted a draft S-1 to the SEC — the first formal step toward going public. No share count. No price. No timeline. Just the option, on the table, when conditions line up. The lab that brands itself as the safer one just made a bet that the public markets will pay a premium for it. OpenAI's Q4 IPO just got company.

Google rolled out digital avatars in Gemini Omni today — open the app, hit "Avatar" in settings, follow the steps, and Gemini builds a version of you that looks and sounds like you.
