It's Time to Assess Your LLM Cost Drivers

The largest firms are spending $7,500 per employee per month on AI costs. That burn rate may not be sustainable. Assessing key LLM cost drivers is the key to getting spending under control.

In June, Ramp published data suggesting that the most intensive ‘AI-pilled’ companies spend about $7,500 per employee per month on AI costs.

The spending is significant and the data suggest many are working to control costs by turning to less expensive open source models, and using the right model for the task.

However, it’s unclear what firms are getting from an ROI perspective from their spend, and how they are measuring it.

Understanding the Behaviors That Drive LLM Costs

Cost will always be a major concern and area of focus for many. To help, I conducted research simulating more than 240,000 LLM users of tolls like Claude Code and Codex to understand the specific behaviors and habits that drive and save money on AI spend.

In addition to the research, I developed an assessment that reveals what behaviors drive your LLM costs over time and shows you exactly where cost savings can be achieved. The assessment takes less than 5 minutes to complete.
