AI running costs go far beyond token prices, engineers say

Engineers and software commentators are discussing why token prices make up only a small fraction of the real cost of running AI features in production. The argument is that the total bill is an architecture problem: infrastructure, latency, fallbacks, monitoring, and engineering time around an AI feature often outweigh what providers charge per token.
Why now: Teams deploying AI features are rethinking budgets as hidden infrastructure and engineering costs prove larger than expected
