Controlling Enterprise LLM Cost

Erik Huckle·VP of Product·2 min

Erik Huckle, VP of Product at C1.ai, explains how enterprises can keep LLM spend under control as AI usage scales.

Main Takeaways

  • AI costs are climbing as teams outside engineering build and deploy apps, some of which cost tens of thousands of dollars and then go unused.
  • An LLM gateway sits between apps and models as a control point, showing which apps and prompts are using which models and driving spend.
  • Alerts can be set per team, identity, or project, so companies can build fast while keeping visibility into overall spend and ROI.
