It already is. There’s been a lot of talk and development around FinOps for AI and the challenges that come with that. For companies, forecasting token usage and AI costs is non-trivial for internal purposes. For external products, what’s the right unit economic? $/token, $/agentic execution, etc? The former is detached from customer value, the latter is hard to track and will have lots of variance.

With how variable output size can be (and input), it’s a tricky space to really get a grasp on at this point in time. It’ll become a solved problem, but right now, it’s the Wild West.
