Amazon Bedrock AgentCore payments is now generally available. It lets AI agents pay for each model inference automatically, using a managed wallet and spending limits. Incarna integrated the feature with BlockRun’s pay‑as‑you‑go inference router and launched a production flow in just three days. The system recorded over 1,000 sub‑cent payments, each settled on‑chain in USDC.

## The facts

- Integration completed in three days, about 200 lines of code.
- Agents processed more than 1,000 payments ranging from $0.001 to $0.05 each.

## Why it matters

Developers can now add safe, on‑demand payment for inference to their agents without building custom payment infrastructure.
