Despite reductions in AI token prices from providers like OpenAI and Anthropic, enterprises face higher overall AI deployment costs due to increased model calls, longer workflows, retries, and complexity in business task execution. Managing these costs requires detailed workflow mapping, testing actual task completion costs, and enforcing usage limits.
