What you'll learn
Quickly estimate model costs
Most AI engineers in 2026 still have ZERO clue how much VRAM their model actually needs.
Concurrency handling is never taught
Your RAG demo works on your MacBook. You think you’re ready for production. Then your 8×H100 box OOMs at 3am with 8users
Model math doesn't translate to Agentic Systems
5 numbers to look at when evaluating costs for real agentic workflows. Single-turn v/s multi-turn runs. How they differ?
Why this topic matters
Most AI engineers jump straight into coding without thinking about cost. Most cost calculators only teach token maths but not RAM or compute costs or network costs. In this session, we will look into all that.
Because when your LLM scales from one call to thousands per day, those numbers add up fast. In this lightening talk, I break down model costs using simple “napkin math” anyone can follow.
