s more businesses use artificial intelligence (AI) to improve their work, they’re adding AI tools like language models and image generators to their technology. AI is becoming a big part of how companies operate. But with this increase in AI use comes a new challenge: keeping track of how much AI costs in the cloud.

Recent studies show that in companies using a lot of AI, AI and machine learning (ML) can take up to 30% of cloud spending. Tracking these costs is tricky because AI service prices depend on things like the number of words (tokens) or images used, the size of the model, and the time spent processing each task (inference time).

That's why we’re excited to introduce AI Cost Tracking in CloudYali, our cost visibility platform for understanding cloud costs. This new feature helps companies keep an eye on their AI spending across different cloud providers.  The initial release supports Amazon Bedrock, with support for additional AI services and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) coming soon. To know more about Amazon Bedrock, its pricing and cost optimization strategies please read the blog.

Why Should You Track AI Costs?

Keeping an eye on AI costs is essential for three main reasons:

1. Managing Your Budget

  • Stay on top of what’s being spent on different AI services.
  • See how frequently each service is used.
  • Assign costs to the right teams or projects so everyone knows what they’re responsible for.
  • 2. Keeping Tabs on Resources

  • Monitor active AI models and services to see what’s in use.
  • Track how efficiently tokens are being used.
  • Review usage over time to identify patterns or trends.
  • 3. Making Smart Plans for the Future

  • Make informed choices about adopting new AI services.
  • Prepare for increased workloads as your AI usage grows.
  • Understand the cost impact of any new AI projects.
  • Tracking costs doesn’t just help manage the budget—it helps you use AI effectively, plan for the future, and get the most out of your resources.
