Will Gaus, chief knowledge management and innovation officer of Troutman Pepper Locke, was quoted in the October 14, 2026, Legaltech News article, “How Law Firms Are Strategizing for Consumption-Based AI Pricing.”

  • Other firms like Troutman Pepper Locke are planning to ensure its own in-house tools have mechanisms to route to different models ahead of pricing changes, according to Will Gaus, the firm’s chief knowledge management and innovation officer.
  • “There’s no doubt that leveraging AI is going to get more expensive in the future. There are some possibilities with open source that may prevent that, which would be amazing, but we can’t rely on that. Assuming it does get more expensive, assume that when people say we are moving into a token economy, we need to trial new approaches to harnessing different models for different questions so that we can manage our overall AI expenses,” he said.
