What does it cost to answer one question? Measuring per-request cost in agentic workloads

What does it cost to answer one question? Measuring per-request cost in agentic workloads

The cost dimensions of agentic workloads on Amazon Web Services (AWS) are invisible to many organizations beginning their agentic journey. It’s straightforward to track tokens consumed because this dimension translates directly to your bill. But most organizations can’t determine the cost per request or the cost to answer a single user question. Without understanding the cost to answer a single user question, organizations are blind to cost issues. In this post, I talk about how to gain visibility into your agentic costs, and I identify three things you can do to better control your costs.
