Tenex on AI-Native Software Engineering and Pay-per-Outcome
Understand the story
On October 21, 2026, during the AIE New York conference, Latent Space interviewed Alex Lieberman and CJ Hess of Tenex. Tenex is a 75-person company that uses a "pay per outcome" AI-native software engineering model, billing based on the actual results of engineering output rather than traditional person-days or hours. In the interview, the two guests explained how this model works in practice, as well as Tenex's experience helping Fortune 2000 companies deploy AI. This is the only reported coverage of the event so far, with no follow-up developments reported.
