"What does AI cost?" sounds like a CFO question with a CFO answer β but it's not. The real cost depends entirely on what you're trying to do, how much context you're feeding models, and whether you're actually measuring outcomes vs. token throughput.
The trap many companies fall into: optimizing for token volume as if that's the metric that matters. It isn't. The ROI question is whether AI is changing what your business can do β and that's much harder to put a number on.
Before signing any AI contract, make sure you know what you're actually buying. Token counts don't pay the bills β results do. π
