🚀 "Ramp #Launches #a #Model Router": Because who wouldn't want to cut AI costs by 40% by smashing the same "26 in model credits" button over and over until 2026? 😂 It's like Groundhog Day, but for tech buzzwords! 🔄📉

Everyone knows that in the Cocaine pricing model, the first 3 hits are free -- then you gotta pay!

Same with AI ... Software vendors and AI model providers have been giving AI away for free to spur adoption by enterprises. Can you say “unmetered,” “complimentary,” or “included” scenarios.

Those “complimentary" subsidies are starting to disappear, as the AI industry transitions to Pay-Per-Use pricing models.

This means investing in AI is NOT just an IT procurement decision, it is now an "organizational design decision". https://hbr.org/2026/08/how-to-respond-to-the-coming-ai-cost-shock #AI #AICosts #AIPricing #HBR #Subsidized #Budgets #AIBudgeting #Pricing #Subscription #AI_Token #TokenConsumption #Enterprise_IT #AI_Token_Budgets

FYI: Cloudflare AI Gateway now caps runaway AI bills with dollar budgets: Cloudflare added spend limits to AI Gateway today, letting firms cap AI costs in dollars by team, user or model, with fallback routing when budgets run out. https://ppc.land/cloudflare-ai-gateway-now-caps-runaway-ai-bills-with-dollar-budgets/ #Cloudflare #AIGateway #ArtificialIntelligence #AICosts #BudgetManagement
