Budget Drivers
What Determines
AI Development Budgets?
Tool & API Connections
Simple data reading is fast. Letting the AI execute actions (like editing CRM databases or logging tickets) requires heavy logic validation checks.
Orchestration Steps
Single LLM calls are cheap. Setting up collaborative multi-agent teams where agents verify each other's work adds token runs.
Privacy & Isolation
Standard APIs are fast. Setting up secure isolated tenant databases and PHI scrubbers adds data security layers.
Model Customization
Using standard GPT-4 models is straightforward. Fine-tuning models on domain data requires GPU hardware runs and validation rounds.
