According to Crypto Briefing, Lightning Labs launched open-source extension pi402 on Nov 12, allowing AI programming agents to pay for their inference fees using Bitcoin via the Lightning Network. The tool requires no account registration, API keys, or credit cards; agents simply view the price and pay the invoice to resume operations. Based on the L402 protocol, pi402 combines HTTP 402 payment responses with Lightning invoices for instant settlement. Demo pricing is approximately $0.375 per million input tokens and $1.5 per million output tokens.
