Most teams don't find out what their AI agent really costs until the bill lands. The spread is wild. Roughly $0 a month on a self hosted open source setup, and over $13,000 a month once you are running high volume API calls on dedicated infra. Four things decide where you land: which models you call, how often you call them, where the agent runs, and build vs buy. The sneaky one is call frequency. An agent looping on a task can burn more tokens in an afternoon than a chatbot does all month. autolearningagents.com/ai-ag… #AIAgents #LLMOps
