AI Cost Optimization Workflow for AI Platform Teams
Cost optimization requires routing decisions and variance tracking. This workflow defines an optimization cadence with budget thresholds and owner assignment.
Implementation Steps
- Define routing rules by task complexity: premium vs budget model mapping.
- Set budget guardrails with alert thresholds for variance detection.
- Assign optimization owner for routing and budget adjustments.
- Review cost variance weekly and update routing rules for savings.
