FinOps: take back control of your cloud and AI costs

Your cloud bills keep climbing and nobody really knows why? Your generative AI costs have become unpredictable since several teams started using it? FinOps brings simple discipline: understand what you're consuming, optimize it, then operate it with budgets and alerts.

Classic cloud FinOps

Even before talking about AI, most organizations pay for cloud resources that are underused or misconfigured. Classic cloud FinOps means making these costs visible, attributing them to the right teams or projects, and right-sizing resources to match actual usage.

  • Visibility into costs by service and by team
  • Systematic tagging of resources
  • Resource rightsizing
  • Cost allocation (showback / chargeback)

What is generative AI FinOps?

Generative AI FinOps applies the same principles of cost visibility and control, but to token consumption by AI models (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.). Without tracking, the cost of an AI assistant can go from a few dollars to thousands of dollars per month within a few weeks, simply because its use has spread across the organization.

Token tracking

Measure consumption by use case, team, or application.

Model selection

Balance cost and quality based on the task (a smaller model is often enough).

Caching and batch processing

Avoid paying multiple times for the same requests.

Budgets and alerts

Get notified before costs spiral out of control, not after.

Our methodology

1. Inform

Make costs visible and understandable for the teams involved.

2. Optimize

Adjust resources, models, and usage patterns to reduce waste.

3. Operate

Put budgets, alerts, and recurring reviews in place to maintain control.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Even with small budgets, a lack of visibility can cause a bill to double without anyone noticing. The effort required to set it up scales with the size of your infrastructure.

If you can't answer "how much does our AI usage cost per month, and why," that's usually a sign that basic tracking is missing.

Yes, very much so. Our AI activation service covers deployment and training; FinOps covers managing the resulting costs. The two are often combined.

No, our FinOps approach is provider-agnostic (public cloud, Odoo hosting, generative AI APIs, etc.).
