Your AI costs are about to explode. Here’s how to control them

With Gen AI spending reaching $644 billion globally in 2025—a staggering 76.4% surge—enterprises face an unprecedented financial challenge. Infrastructure alone consumes 80% of AI budgets, while 80% of organizations report no tangible profit from their AI investments.

Amberflo is your AI cost control center: Our Unified FinOps platform for AI (Cloud and Data Center) provides the real-time visibility and control you need to join the successful 20% who achieve meaningful AI returns.

The Uncontrolled Spend and Limited ROI Problem Amberflo Solves

1. Infrastructure Hemorrhaging: Stop the 80% Budget Drain

The Challenge:
Infrastructure spending dominates AI budgets at 80%, with GPU costs ranging from $98/hour for H100 instances to millions monthly for enterprise deployments. Organizations struggle to track actual usage versus allocation, leading to massive waste.

Amberflo's Solution:

• Real-time usage tracking across all clouds and on-prem infrastructure—no tagging required
• Instant alerts when GPU usage exceeds thresholds, preventing budget overruns
• 28% cost savings opportunities identified through intelligent optimization recommendations
• Unified view across AWS, Azure, GCP, and on-premise AI Factory and GPU clusters from a single dashboard

Result: One Fortune 500 client reduced infrastructure costs by 35% within 90 days through Amberflo's real-time visibility.

2. LLM Cost Chaos: Master the Token Economy

The Challenge:
Model licensing costs vary wildly—from $0.07 to $30 per million tokens—with enterprises processing billions of tokens monthly.

Amberflo's Solution:

• Granular token tracking at per-customer, per-team, or per-user level
• Multi-modal LLM cost optimization with automatic routing to most cost-effective models
• Built-in AI Gateway to centralize access, tracking, allocation, and reporting across 100s of LLM providers
• Real-time LLM analytics with per unit costs to save on LLM costs by 30-60%

Result: Track exact LLM costs per customer query and optimize model selection in real-time.

3. Hidden Cost Explosions: Expose the 60–70% Operational Burden

The Challenge:
Data preparation consumes 15–25% of budgets but often exceeds estimates by 50–100%. Total cost of ownership reveals operational expenses constitute 60–70% of lifetime AI costs.

Amberflo's Solution:

• Complete cost attribution including data prep, integration, and operational overhead
• Automated chargeback to business units, creating accountability
• Custom cost dimensions for projects, teams, or any organizational structure
• Predictive cost modeling to forecast true TCO before implementation

Result: Prevent the 2–3x budget overruns that plague 80% of AI initiatives.
