SHOW NOTES:
Topic: Finops for AI?
• Why now? Cost of tokens goes up as model performance increases, but still needs subsidies…
• Past: FinOps for Cloud - prices grew out of control, needed centralization for expense management and capital allocation
• Present: TokenMaxxing, the move from per-seat to per-token pricing
• Future: What happens when you can’t afford the Ferrari anymore? Will there be a glut of FinOps for AI startups? What happens when usage is regulated and centralized?
