Over half of organizations plan to increase investments in GenAI within the next year, but practical considerations of cost management have been overlooked as IT leaders ambitiously rush to deploy LLMs, hire skilled talent, and engineer the best prompts for quality, governance, and security.
With Gen AI forecasted to capture 55% of AI spend by 2030, ensuring that GenAI initiatives are backed by a strong financial justification presents a critical investment area.
Responding to this challenge, Dataiku launched a cost monitoring solution, LLM Cost Guard, which enables effective tracing and monitoring of enterprise LLM usage to better anticipate and control GenAI costs and provides visibility into costs attributed to specific applications, providers, and users for a fine-grained understanding of which LLM use cases are driving what costs.
LLM Cost Guard is a feature within the Dataiku LLM Mesh, which provides a secure LLM gateway and allows customers to be agnostic when it comes to LLM providers, including integration of LLMs provided by OpenAI, Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, Databricks, Anthropic, AI21 Labs, and Cohere.
“AI is a critical strategy for every enterprise’s innovation and growth, yet we constantly hear business leaders’ concerns not only about the potential costs of Generative AI projects but the inherent variability of that cost,” said Florian Douetteau, co-founder and CEO of Dataiku.
Douetteau added that with LLM Cost Guard, IT leaders will now not only have controlled, governed LLM access within the Dataiku LLM Mesh but detailed, real-time control over spend so that they can focus their time on building and innovating.
Today’s enterprises prefer to use an array of LLM vendors for different use cases, and LLM Cost Guard monitors and reports on insights across providers so that organizations have global visibility over their projects.
LLM Cost Guard enables enterprises to:
Tag and Track LLM Expenditures: Assign costs to specific projects for better financial clarity and accountability.
Differentiate Between Costs: Distinguish between production and development expenses to aid strategic financial planning.
Implement Early Warning Systems: Identify potential cost overruns early to mitigate financial risks, including those related to governance failures.
Gain Detailed Insights: Access a dashboard of LLM usage and spending to make informed decisions and optimize investment.
