AWS AgentCore Payments Supports Pay-Per-Use Autonomous Payments for Agents

On 2026-10-09, the AWS Machine Learning Blog published an article introducing pay-per-call inference usage of Amazon Bedrock AgentCore payments. The article stated that Incarna uses this feature to let agents pay BlockRun per call for model inference via the x402 protocol—users pay per actual use rather than subscribing or prepaying—and this flow is already in production on the Base network (using USDC). On 2026-10-14, the AWS Machine Learning Blog published another article introducing the integration of Anchor Browser with AgentCore payments: when AI agents encounter an HTTP 402 Payment Required response, they can autonomously complete payments for paywalled pages, APIs, and MCP servers via the x402 protocol within a configured budget. Reports currently come only from the AWS Machine Learning Blog, with no further progress or data disclosed.
