Описание и применение

<p>As enterprises scale their ai agents for business into production, API bills can surprise finance leaders. What starts as a predictable $2,000 monthly prototype budget can grow to a $14,000-per-month cost within three quarters, at an effective 7.2x annual compounding growth rate.<br> This cost increase is not usually caused by query volume alone. Instead, it comes from problems within multi-step agentic workflows, such as large system prompts, sending the same context repeatedly, poorly optimized vector search, and using expensive top-tier models for simple operational tasks.</p> <p>Recent
